Born Connected

Born connected

“How ? How can I flourish in a dying world ? Let me run let me hide . Cast away pushed to the side , and so I mask what I feel inside “ Born into the sins of those placed before me ! I long for mine own salvation . Mine own wealth and prosperity. These though , these feelings of longing saddens me so , so far from my reach . Because thine burdens already placed at my feet .

I can’t breath nothing or no one to believe in or me ! I am not who I am but who they’ve since programmed and progressed me to be . Land of the free ? Yet I am enslaved. Taught to think I don’t fit in and left alone. When my spirituality tells me I’m right where I belong and until this curse is broken here I shall stay . This is my home . Land where I was born free those before and before me . Too much to believe that those chosen ahead me has failed us all completely. Walking in the mind of the fairy I tell the tells of no lies . Reincarnated to change the way our worlds collide. My gifts are also my curses . Cause In this realm of the lost most people are soulless. Strength of the mind body and soul is the pinnacle of abundance and the ascension we are owed . For this world is dying and surely shall I not . For I am one with my creator connected to all and all that is not .

About the Creator

LAKESHIA BRIMLEY

Ask me what I believe in I’ll tell you it’s beyond eyes limit to see . Show me a rose and I’ll tell you about the hidden concrete . I am a beacon of light for the world to see . So giving you just a small description would not justify me .
