IamSomaliAN


"There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls by the roadside
There is a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
That is how she lives her life
She is dying to survive
I don't know what she's made of
But I would like to be that brain S
he cries to the heavens above
There's a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand new shoes
Yes, it hurts like brand new shoes
And it hurts like brand new shoes "
pearls
--India Arie
Their Sole is to priority to break her down. Like puzzles pieces formed already shattering her old ways trying to make her forget about ways. Ways she was born with. Forcing her to let go and for get about the culture that was formed into her brain from generations on to generations. She has been living in the states for eleven bittersweet years so they label her as one of them by giving her a piece of paper. Letting her know she has the right to act like a civilized American citizen. But little did they forget she’s NOT American. She doesn’t want to be. She knows what she really is. They cant portray her as one inside. The Horn still loves her. Will always be home. Nothing is sweeter than Home . Even when your away.
