An Order of Necessity

My life has been an order of necessity

Met with scarcity

As if no one cares for me

Yet they’re all expecting the Best from me (lol)

I

Wake up, Brush teeth

Comb hair, Be sweet

Wash up, Clean feet

Go to school, repeat

Calculating my plans through every beat

On aching feet

Rain, snow, or sleet

In scorching heat

I’M READY

Oh so ready to conquer my defeats

BUT

Who Am I in the midst of these “Repeats”

A Surgeon

With ease I appease the disease

The disease of brokenness

With the cure of togetherness

An Astronaut

I proclaim my declaration of fascination

For new explorations

Indeed, I’m destined to reach my destinations

Lastly a Lawyer

I speak on the behalf of the weak and meek

Those who are unable to do so for themselves

In unison with youth

I am an advocate for truth

Fried French Fries and vanilla Ice cream

Are the things my tummy dreams

Each dip & intake makes my belly ache!

… For more 

The only girl of all boys was most definitely rough

But in the end

It was enough to make this girl tough

Growing up in a single parent home

Poor mother was expected to do everything alone

Never knew the feeling of calling someone ‘Dad’

Maybe because that was something I never thought I had

However, Because of Grace

I’ve been saved through Faith

I now have a father above who showers me with his mercy & Love

I found myself lost

Until I heard of the crucifixion at the cross

Through his Legacy is where I find my Identity

Old things are passed away

Every sin has been washed away

This is the New SHAY
