This is Me

This is Me

The Real Me

No bars

No singing

Just me as an artist,

Speaking

Words that flow

From here I go

Time tells lies

Right in front our eyes

We believe in ghosts

Is the truth not one?

Just because we can’t see it

Doesn’t mean it hasn’t a host

I digress

This is about me

No less

But as I speak my mind

There comes a time

When I love to see

Us all believe

That we are the people

The one with the power

I can’t speak for myself

And NOT include the “our”

We have come to far

To let others make us ajar

Cause our community is stronger

As we stick together longer

I know

“Lady, speak for yourself,

From yourself”

But always putting others before

“Myself”

Has been my line

Yet here I am with mine

Because “myself” wouldn’t be here,

If it wasn’t for that state of mind

I’m strong and fearless

Independent yet humbling

With hundreds of years of

ancestors behind me

I know what I have coming

The way I walk

The way I talk

The way I carry myself

And the way that it’s brought

I know my worth

I know what’s mine

I know that no matter what

They can’t steal my shine

You don’t have to listen

You probably never have

The savagery is real with me

Because of my path

So you want to know my story?

Then sit here in your den

Let the sound waves and the melody carry you

As my story begins

LET THE STORY…..BEGIN
