A Poem centered and inspired by the words Surge et egredere

Scriptural Note: John 14:31 (NIV) ...“Come now; let us leave.

Reflections: Lose the Mask

They won’t say it but I will

I might never be Maya Angelou.

 

But who’s to say I desire to be
Aspiring to be me
I - born a man
To die a man
The in between –

But never
No caged birds singing.

Wouldn't even want to think
It’s some devastating ish in the world
And I
Given a voice to read and write
I
Am me
Exponentially.

travelin by his side,

I am victory
