Who are you
when you are not
giving away your power.
To old stories
and monoliths
and myths.
Assigned labels,
and meanings made,
that decide who you are.
So, Who are you?
When you remember your power
and what was there
before it was named,
contained
and categorized.
Institutionalized.
Assigned to you,
as if Who you are
is a single story.
In dedication to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
