Total Recall

By: Ebony Taylor

By Ebony TaylorPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Its a wonder I'm still alive

Its a wonder my light still shines

Had It not been for the Grace of the Most High

I would have already met my well deserved demise

See; I was unwanted and unloved my whole life

So to find me was more difficult

Challenging as hell and death was almost the end result

I cheated it many times

When I discovered that wasn't to be my legacy

My light began to brilliantly shine

There were times when I thought I wouldn't make it

There were instances where I felt I could no longer take it

I wasnt feeling so benevolently divine

I wanted to run and hide

I said fuck the finish line

A voice in my head said

"Boss up you're ready; time to reshuffle mankind"

"Dont hold back you weren't built for that"

I took off running with that in mind

Now here I am

Stronger than Ive ever been

Living every moment in real time

Savoring every win

I am unashamed

Champion, in every sense of the word

My truth, My existence; My way...
