Myself

I'm not a puppet

And will never be one 

Neither to them nor anyone 

 

I'm just a human 

And will remain so 

Helping And caring people in need 

 

I'm just a woman 

Kind and considerate 

Wise for some And fool to some

 

I'm just a speck 

In this vast universe 

Knowing well my tiny existence 

 

I'm who I am 

Love me or leave 

But nothing And none can destroy me 

 

I'm the servant of Almighty 

Stumbling And breaking 

Being helped by God every moment of my life 

 

I'm just a loyal friend 

Bitter And true 

But will never dare destroy any of you 

 

I'm a lover 

Quiet And shy 

With the mane of a lion defending my loved ones 

 

I'm just a divine miracle 

Blessed divinely 

With powers And youth heavenly 

 

I'm just me 

Tiny, small and insignificant 

I know my reality better than anybody
