The Art of Scintillation


I am scintillating

I am the rose in your lapel that provides so much mystery

The cleverness behind chess...the difficulty..the history

I am growing each day, but yet still a child

I want to travel, explore, and drive myself wild

I am scintillating

I am the sparkle in your eye when you see someone you love

I am the rice at your wedding...the ring...the dove

I am Drake's lyrics because if you're reading this it's too late

I am at the happiest point in my life...the precise moment, time, and date

I am scintillating

I am the master of procrastination, yet I'm always just on time

I am too smart for my own good..nickel qualities but still a dime

I am my own worst critic

I am too hard on myself

I want much more in life and I'm not just talking wealth

I am scintillating

I am all of my hard times wrapped up in a bow

I am the dew on the ground left after a winter snow

I am my mother's, my brother's, and my sister's success

And without them, to tell you the truth, 

I'm a straight mess

I am still in school, even though it seems I'll never finish

I feel that as soon as I'm done, all my problems will diminish

I am a world traveler, but I live in a small town

I have never been out the country, but I know my way around

I am sarcastic by nature. I am talented by trade.

I am your alarm clock in the morning. I am the brush of soft suede.

What I am not is an imposter, a fraud, a scheme, or a scam

I'm telling you all truths. I'm telling you who I am

I am scintillating
