Dear Father,

Do you know who I am?

Do you, or did you care for this child?

You remembered the one you lie down and conceived and then leave.

Did you think how or if I was cared for?

Where you there to protect me from horny Little boys?

Instead you said this child can never be mine! Why they asked?

He snared because she is too black and ugly: so she can never be a child of my own

When given the opportunity to showed some sign of civility you put her out in the cold and tell her to go

I’ve used those rejections to strengthened my resolve

And promised myself to be a better human

I know I may appeared as a reject

But thank God who has bless me with some form of  intellect

I am not a worthless black ugly female

I am a rare speciality that your eyes are not big enough to see.

An opportunity you’ve  missed!

placing the blame for your infidelity

But that’s  okay, I profess that I will walk in prosperity.

And you will know that I am Gem, the one you’ve rejected.
