What am I?
Who am I?
That seems to be the prime
Question of every teenager
What makes me, me ?
what makes me be the individual I want to be ?
That is the question we ask ourselves
Does my dark skin define me?
Does my tall lankiness define me?
Is it the xhosa language I speak ?
which is foreign to you
what makes me, me?
is it the music I listen to?
guitars and drums thrashing in the background
with the crowd moshing and roaring along to the music
or is that just a phases as the elders say
all of that makes me, me
but
I still have one question what is me?
