What’s in a Name?
Poetry | By Nebila Abdulmelik , Activist | 31 October 2014
You don’t define me
You can’t stall me
You don’t decide my worth
You can’t condemn me
You don’t confine me
You can’t try me
You don’t faze me
You can’t break me
You don’t frustrate me
You can’t impoverish me
You don’t school me
You can’t silence me
You don’t fool me
You can’t deny me
I’m Beauty
I’m Progress
I’m Precious
I’m Innocent
I’m Freedom
I’m Hope
I’m Patience
I’m Perseverance
I’m Faith
I’m Fortune
I’m Wisdom
I’m Outspoken
I’m Cynic
I’m Truth.
