Invictus (Ilana Sabio) Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

Invictus (Ilana Sabio)



Despite what happen, I push on
Breaking down all the solid walls
Rising up like the break of dawn
Feeling like I am ten feet tall

All that I had done was nodded
But now I stand up and shout
The fingers they poked and prodded
Natural hair is all it's about

Cutting my tresses gave me pain
Though it was short I can contest
But a sense of freedom I did gain
I had finally felt my best

I walked with a new pep in my step
Just like a budding daffodil
The stereotypes I sidestepped
The new me was budding and ready to thrill
