I Am a Vibrant Girl

by Kareemat Adebisi

Self-Worth & Resilience

I am a vibrant girl.

My smile is the only accessory I wear
and my confidence shines from within.

No one dares stop me. No words penetrate me.

They ricochet off my skin like stray bullets.

I believe in the power of 'yes and'.

If you only see the bad in me but ignore the good,
I have nothing more to offer you.

Except 'yes and'.

Your kind awakens the rested spirit in me.
I am grateful for your seeds.

So when you finish spewing your hurtful words -
yes and still I rise.
