What am I
Who am I
And why am I as I am
So many people ask the question
Why ?
It irritates me
Like why do you
Sag your pants
Why this,
Why that
Why don't you get yourself
A boyfriend
Have you tried them?
You might just enjoy them.
Why do you try so hard
Spend so much time
Pretending to be something that your not
Your a girl aren't you?
So walk like a girl
Talk like a girl
Carry yourself like a girl should
And Maybe just Maybe
You wouldn't have gotten RAPED.
Ngwanake mara
Why osa tswani libanyana babang
(But my child why aren't you like other girls)
What this people fail
To understand
Is that but I am being
What I am
I am what I represent
I am the way I walk
I am the way I talk
I am what I am
And what I am is not pretence
What I am is not a choice
No ,what I am is not a mistake
That can be rectified by prayer.
I am what I am
And what I am
Is exactly this.
But when did this
All start they ask
When did you become a...
A...I can't even say the word
When did you become
A Stabane.(Dyke)
Akago godisa yalo.
(I didn't raise you like this)
But ma wait you seem
To have forgotten
Let me take you back
Let me take you back
To the day I was born
Because that's when it all started
Don't you remember
Don't you remember Ma
Don't you remember those
Rainbow colours that floated
Above the room
Only you and I saw them
But I was too young to
Understand
Only you and I saw them mother
But when you
When you chose to ignore them
They continued to blossom
In my soul
When you chose to ignore them
My heart embraced them
And today
Today you the one asking me why
Today you the one letting
Them crucify me with
Their words bigger than stone
Today you the one asking me
Why I love HER and NOT HIM
I LOVE HER ma NOT HIM
Because I am what I am
And If Love Is God
And God Is Love
Then I should be asking
The question
Why?
Why Is My Love Classified As Sin?
