I Still Shine Poem by Chimdike Eze

I Still Shine



Although I am being castigated
Although I am rejected
Although I am discouraged
I still shine

Like the sun which rises in the East
Like the moon which shines in the night
Like the stars which gives us light
I still shine

Like the waves in the sea
Like the sea filled with tides
Like the currents of the ocean
I still shine

Although I am told I can't
Although I wish to fight
Although I am seen as ant
I still shine

Like the lions in the forest
Like the ape that beats its chest
Like the elephant which has no rest
I still shine

Like the game bird, I am being hunted for
I am like a Dolly bird from the East
Like the song bird, I sing with joy
I still shine

Like the hawk which hunts for its prey
Like the eagle which is known for it's pride
Like the owl which hovers in the night
I still shine

Like the whale which is known to be
Like the shark which is known for it's aggressiveness
As the electric fish which produces electricity
Like the octopus with eight arms
I still shine

Although I am in fright
Although I am desperate
Although they say I am insane
I still shine

Although I have to end the poem
Although the poem has a style
Although I wish to write some more
Although I am seen as a nobody
I still shine.
