“I Am Me,” by Jessica Ximba (grade 9C)

I am me

There will never be anyone like me

I am special because I am acquired

I am stardust and dreams

I am light, love and hope

I am swells of blue, green, red, purple

And colours you cannot name

I was the past but now it turns out

That I am the future

I was born during the days of apartheid

But now it shows that I am living in the days of democracy

And I am still me, and there

Will never be anyone like me.
