Self Destructive Magnificence


You look people in their eyes and can easily see into the depths of their soul, but never have you been able to shake hands with Your own

You breakdown your self worth and shove the pieces within the crevasses of the earth

Until not even your minds eye can calculate Your worths birth

 

 

My Darling, where will the madness end?

 

Why cant You see what You represent?

 

All the greatness You harbor within

 

Your radiance is indeed magnificent, but it will vanish in due time if u fail to appreciate its presence

 

Do not You remember the time when you thought Yourself to be princess ordained by God to be Queen?

 

Or when You heard Your name called by many because You were meant to be seen?

 

My darling, never forget that you are worth it.

 

You have purpose

You are not worthless

You are purpose

 

Do not destroy yourself with imaginary ignorance

for I know you know who you truly are

 

Never shy away from the glory that is You

Always stay true and be proud my Darling, to be magnificent You

I am an 18 year old college student who who has always had a strong love for both music and poetry. I am a singer as well as a spoken word poet. I currently reside in New York City more specifically in Brooklyn. I have performed some of my poetry at places such as The Nuyorican Poets Cafe and The Inspired Word presented by Mike Geffner. I am so blessed to have also been able to perform on The World Famous Apollo Theater Stage as a finalist for Urban Words NYC Teen Poetry Slam. I love the art of performing as well as expressing myself through written word. I never could have imagined years ago that I would be able to do exactly what I love and share it with so many people and now that I know it is possible I never want to stop.
