see me as me not as she

By Deelisha Trika

See me as me not as she
View my personality
On what am I today, how far I’ll succeed
Not all my yesterdays , not on my ethnicity

See me as me not as she
You don’t  have to stare
What if I am dark or fair
I can be whatever I want to be, You be equal to me

See me as me not as she
If only we change our perspective
I don’t need hackney’d adjectives
If only we change and overthrow our beliefs

See me as me not as she
Don’t put me in a corner
Plant me where I grow
Not suppressed, but where I express, for you’ll only reap what you sow

See me as me not as she
Let me be me, flying with spirited wings
Like day and night, him and her, let the twain co-exist
No alchemy needed, if you willingly change, if you willingly change

See me as me not as she
When decisions are made, ask me! T’s not just about you or me
I’ve potential, everything can be us
Together more we can achieve
No barriers to tell what each can be

See me as me not as she
See me as me not as she
