Dr. Donovan Colquitt

If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

31 poems·Since March 2020

I write because I feel. I feel because I think about where we are today, where we've many times before, and where aim for many tomorrows. To say I'm content would be an overstatement. To say I'm grateful would be an understatement. I'm seeking collective liberation through a medium in which I have yet to fully explore. I desire harmonic convergence for YahWeh's kingdom in this life and beyond.

What's Real?

March 25, 2020

You think you’re all that

You’re as real as can be

Have you changed your style

Out of screaming envy?

Have you had second thoughts

Because of someone else’s opinion?

I’d never change my mind

Because no one is my dominion

While you follow others

I create my own path

I lead my own life

So you do the math

And when you come running

Trying to bite my style,

I’ll put you in exile

Because you’re foul and in denial
