A Little Write up to Celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child

I don't know if I should call this a Poem but it just popped up in my mind.

I'm not what you wished I was, but I came
I might not be what you prayed for but I still came
Not to suit your needs.
But I'm who I am because I was born for a purpose

Fragile you call me
But, I'm stronger than you think
I take up more than what you imagined
My glory is evident in my beauty

Beauty we speak, my kinky hair glows
My blonde straight hair with it's slender tenderness glows
My Afro, rocks
My low cut doesn't make me less but shows my strength
My curly hair is my pride

I flaunt my wonderful structured physique
Down from my ever blazing face to my feet
My feet, only steps to conquer and dominate

I'm fearless. I can't be intimidated
I can't be abused because I'm precious
I can't be drawn down by your insecurities
I can't be restricted from achieving my dream

I'm Black, I'm White
I'm your Brown Skinned Girl
Regardless of however you see me
I'm still a Girl.

It's actually general, it spreads like a disease to many other African home. The old African way, leave you with lots of bitter sweet memorable experiences that affects your behaviour in public. Honestly, those modes of training came with lots ...
