I AM

I Am

I am Okonkwo
I wonder when i will succeed
I hear my pain - the pain i give
I see my goals; unsuccessful
I want more
I am Okonkwo

I pretend to be this
I feel more like an unoka . not
I touch my personal chi
I worry about me
I cry . i don't . i do
I am Okonkwo

I understand the 'tufia' placed on me
I say go away
I dream to be the head of the tribe
I try to not be in this state
I hope . i pray . i succeed . but .
I am Okonkwo
