My Life

How does one go by escaping this realm of reality?
Run away from facing the present
Evanescence
 Become subdued in a world of joy
 Less sorrow and violence
 I reach for the sun as a sign of my success
 For I have been blessed
 Beyond my years of frustration
 Lead to meditation
 Determination
On my part
 I sought a home stress free
 A high level of degree
 Standing tall as the highest tree
To be me
Strive to be the best
Overcame society’s test
 To hold me back from what’s mines
Pull open the curtains for it’s my time to shine
Shed a tear nomore
There is happiness where pain used to har-bor
 Where is this poem going?
 I don’t know
Just ride this magnificent journey
Stick with me like an attorney
 No it will not be rainbows or perfect pictures
 Bible scriptures
Pass through these laws
 Like the halls In high school
Where I played cool
 Nobody’s fool
Use my knowledge as a tool
A stepping stone for the next level
 Shot the devil In the face
 To my disgrace that bastard still lived
 Came back to disrupt my flow
 To blow
 Me off the path that God has put me on
 The seed He has sown
 I am the epitome of a Phenomenal Black Woman
 That was told I wouldn’t amount to shit
 Still held my head high
 and bit My tongue
Held back the breath in my lungs
 Stone clocked heart made by Smith and Wes-son
 If I can do it
You can to
 Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do
 Live life for you
 And you alone
 Be mature and on your grown Woman/Man ish
 To receive more bliss In life
 Im just giving you advice
 But within you is the key
 To your own destiny
