 A New Woman

The Bounty

You were born a certain way
However you cannot accept your roots
The chocolate just isn't your calling
You want to be the filling
You don't speak your language
You don't like your culture
You won't accept who you really are
It kills me to see that you cannot be proud of it
Not proud of being A British born person who isn't English
Or considering how hard your fathers worked to bring you to a better life
You are not English and it is time to face the reality not the fantasy
Being proud of who you are doesn't mean you are Racist
I am proud of being Arab but also proud of being British
I am Happy to speak Both languages and to have both Cultures in me
Yet i know I am the chocolate and not the filling
I accept the racist insults i will get
I accept not everybody likes my culture
It is about time you look in your mirror one more time
You are who you are and you shouldn't act something you are not
Why do you feel trapped and why do you want to be something else
When people can accept you for being yourself
I have alot of Arab Friends and alot of English friends
I have friends from the Caribbean, Asia and some parts of Europe, America and Australia
Yet I will never forget who bought me to this world
I do not feel trapped because i never allow anyone to make me feel this way
Be proud of who you are
It doesn't matter about culture or Religion we are all Worthy human beings
We must accept ourselves first
