You see only a child; a girl
BY Bubbly Doyaka
Yes, but I’m a man by creation I’m a man in a female version I’m a nation.
You see only a child; a girl Yes, but I’m a woman
I’m a womb man I birth men.
You see only a child; a girl Yes; but I have visions
I have dreams
I am… for a purpose.
You see only a child, a girl Yes; but I have abilities
In need of opportunities, I am capable
I need a platform.
You see only a child, a girl
Yes; but with a voice to be heard, Potentials to be maximize ,
I’m a treasure to be valued.
How will you know my worth?
How will you value me?
If all you see
Is only but a girl child.

I love this poem
This poem is very crucial because it describes the truth about people’s erroneous state of mind about the girl child.
