Poem

I am the opposite of male

Mature in some ways, childish in some

I don't believe in fairytale

A realistic person I've become

I am an optimist

Panic is not me

My favourite book is the alchemist

Coffee is life and so is tea

I am a woman,

I am a writer,

I am a daughter and a sister,

I am quiet,

I am loud,

I am weak and strong,

I am… I am… I am…

I am not yours.

I am mine, I am me.

And I am Allah’s

-Ima, 2016
