Vow Poem by Fatuma Abdi

They say I'm crazy
But I say they lazy
I made myself a vow
That they would one day bow

The proof is in the way i hustle
Cos I'mma build a castle
My effort is fruitless to you
But to me it's a struggle boo

I know where I started from
And what I am running from
I promise to show everyone
That I'm someone

And I promise to use everything
To make something
Something out of this meaningless life
I vow I'mma strive

Keep saying I'm crazy
Keep staying lazy
But I'll keep my vow
That one day you shall bow.
