Not A Product of a The Machine By: NHM

Im Not A Product Of the Machine

That's what I tell myself daily.

I do not Conform to familiarity, I am an Original.

Free of stereotype, free of branding, I am only one.

I can not be mass produced for your misuse, 

for your abuse or for any purpose you may have.

I am a woman deserving of freedom, to come

and go as I please. I can be amongst you I can be above you,

but under no one. 

I have busted my tail, I have sweat the blood of despair,

I have conquered your adversity, I have played fair.

My daddy told me I was beautiful, No makeup

No pretense, plain as a white canvas.

He told me always be yourself

that is enough to captivate an audience

and yet when everyone was watching, for a moment

I became an actress, a codependent co-star.

Losing the lead role as I reveled in mediocrity to simply turn your wheels.

I slept on my beauty, I denied my unique thread

only to sleep with my enemy disgusted my simplicity,

fornicated and perverted by statistic.

I woke up one morning sore from all your slavery

to be reminded

I am not a product of your machine.

God gave me every strand on my head

he kissed my cheek and made me beautiful in his image.

He gave me a mind to nurture,

a Talent to display,

He gave me the road map

to never go astray.

I AM NO PRODUCT OF A MACHINE

I AM NEDYNIA

I AM BEAUTIFUL

I AM EDUCATED, DEDICATED

IMPOSSIBLY DUPLICATED

I AM A STAR

I AM WOMAN

I AM UNBREAKABLE.
