Taught from birth
The shame of my
Existence,
I have seldom
Questioned those
Who were my teachers;
But now,
Some six decades after
My arrival,
I am fighting back;
I am rejecting all
They have told me,
I no longer believe
What they have said
I am and
What I am not.
I am worthy of all
The same good things
Others take for granted.
I was not a mistake.
I have a purpose.
I am a child of God,
No more,
No less.
I am,
Beyond them all,
Me.
