Born Again

By Ebony Taylor

By Ebony TaylorPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Late Comers

Late bloomers

Late movers

Too much negativity has consumed them

On the verge of mastering it all

Clipped by a too sooner

How can I manage to uncoil the snake?

Wisdom the heavy

While I await my fate

Will power on roller blades

Keeping up has become another Deep State

Can I breathe while I break?

Right there in the center

I desire a bigger piece of the American pie

My earth is ready to quake

So much energy is at stake

Formulate a new way of sight

Journey mapped out

Destiny a mystery

Hope hiding with a mischievous grin

I stand in my truth

Not defined by what you call sin

Wont be painted with that air brush ever again...
