Bursted Bubbles

“Bursted bubbles I was trapped in

-tapped into potential;

Humbled, but self-worth is vital -

Vibe reverb is tidal -

Claimed my title at the rap recital;

Moving miles every millisecond;

Steppin’, reppin’ strategies so valiantly;

Candor hitting heavy as a hammer;

Assure and then ensure without a stammer that I will endure -

Insure the prospects with my literary skills

- Hurdles will arise -

I’ll jump ‘em all, turn them into words - so wise;

Purpose is the prize;

All else extra would just be nice, suffice

- sufficient for the price of living right

- We’ll see -

I’ll be advancing, painting, planning -

scanning scenes for possibilities.”
