When l was a baby
I had no mind of my own
Or maybe I thought l didn't
I couldn't speak my mind
When l was hungry l, l cried
When l was hurt, l cried
When l was lonely,l cried
When l was sleepy,l cried
I always cried;
"He is hungry" they said
They just didn't get the point
I was hungry to talk
No one is to be blamed though
I couldn't communicate my feeling
Maybe if I did,they would understand
Maybe just maybe
When I was a little boy
I knew right,l knew wrong
Finally,the world will hear my voice
I now knew how to talk
I finally had a 'mind'.
Or maybe l thought l did
I was wrong after all
It was like talking to a wall
"What does he know" they sneered
He is still a child
How would they know what I knew?
When they didn't listen
I had a mind
I knew how to talk
But l cried
Because they didn't listen
Maybe if it makes sense they would listen
Maybe just maybe
When l became a grown-up
I knew what to do,l did what l knew
The world will see what l do
I now how to work
I finally have the ability
Nothing could stop me this time
Absolutely nothing
That was not to be
"It doesn't make any sense"They said
Then they whispered among themselves;
"He is going to cry as usual"
They just didn't know
I had cried enough
I now Know my worth
Hopefully,they will too
It will surely make sense one day
To me,to you,to all of us
This time not maybe
I AM CERTAIN
