I am the broken plate
thrown in the trash by my mother
The forgotten girl who worries about
tomorrow and not today
Just like Wednesday
I exist, I come, yet I am forgotten
I am Kenya, the dry country where I was born, the place where everything seemed so right
I am the girl with the perfect GPA
who got a "C" on her report card,
but I suffer from the heart aches from the past
and hope for a better future.
