Picture That


Picture That

I picture doubters with their jaws dropped because my words they went and copped

I picture family not having to want

Those that didn’t swallow their pride won’t have to front

I picture interviews,

            A bit apprehensive, but ready for the word

I picture people wanting to know my views and what went on in my shoes

I picture myself on some magazine representing educated Black Queens

I picture being comfortable

As a matter of fact, I may even act……

 

 

Picture That!!

Jess_Speak_Dont_Choke

Writing poetry is my passion but I recently joined a Toastmasters club in my area and I now enjoy speech writing. I am currently working on writing a book. They say you will never work a day in your life if you do something you love, well I love writing, and that is what I pray my profession will be. No, let me correct myself, my name is Jessica and I am a writer!
