No one’s property
No one’s property
It took generations
Without scratching the surface
I know of three,
I know there was more
Many came and went
Many had their names erased
My strength built over centuries
Waiting patiently
I have learnt I am the past
How arrogant I have been
Knowing nothing of waiting
I took it, as if it was mine
Although alone we never stand
Generations pulsing through my veins
I am not myself today
I am the collective yesterday
Loudly crashing in
Undeterred
I’m here
And I can declare I belong to none
A woman built from the scars of history
