I CHOOSE ME.

By Words we speak,

By Words we Cry

We reveal what is in our hearts

Our worries, our pain

Our joys

Our future.

I should have, but I did not

I lied, I said I had voted him

It was my choice anyway

My right my vote

My being the most important word

This may be our life but

The pastor said we are one

You insisted

You have calculated all the risks

And seen your choice is best for the family we want

You said with conviction

I am  not sorry

I do not regret it

I will not telll you

But when you see me smile

Without reason

It is because I have a secret you will not approve

You forgot that I also have a mind

You forgot that I have a dream and a vision for Kenya

Yes you love me

Yes you care for me

But you degrade my mind

And silence my voice

I stood up and did what they all said

I made a wise choice.
