I Am Who I Am! Poem by PHUMLA KHANYILE

I Am Who I Am!

Rating: 5.0


Am deeper than the ocean
My waves rise and fall
They gather and pour

I am unstoppable
I flow against the winds
Though they blow wild

Like a thousand stones of sands
Am scattered along the shores
Am carried over the lands

I stand tall against all weight
My will refuse to bend
I walk with my head held high

I am wider than the wild
So unconfined are my visions
I see beyond the envisioned

I am greener than the pastures
Fertile like my forefathers' lands
Ploughed in me are his seeds of wisdom

I am the running rivers
The falling waterfalls
I gather into lakes and ponds

If you want to hear me well
Listen to the whirr of the winds
The splashing of the waters

I am who I am
The unbendable rod
The grinding stone

I am my father's daughter
A princess of my clan
I am the strong post that holds

Who are you?
