I Am God

Sorry everyone! I haven't been on here in quite a while! Here's a new piece. Enjoy

I'd like to think of my self as a great poet.
A biblical prophecy.

But what am I really?
A young girl stricken with a distraught,
So Black and Nasty to bare.

It may seem, on the outside, I'm average.
But I know my third eye sees quite clear,
That beyond the mirror lies something
Much greater in its dark beauty.

You see I am a poet,
I am a biblical prophecy,
I make my own religion.
And I build my own fame.
Whether it be just in the convicts of my mind,
Or in a delirious reality.

I Am God.

This is very interesting, I think it contradicts your more recent piece...It's necessary to allow our souls to speak weather we know it or not...The last line is very powerful, but through the depths of your existence can you say that line with complete conviction. I while reading it, would say your are an embodiment of God, opposed to God them-self. The reason this is so, because look at your most recent piece on how you took away the notion of knowledge...For God knows everything, we a mere in his eyes...ie( tree of knowledge of Good and Evil) I applaud your imagery and drive dear. Keep pressing for your truth. The truth of your existence...From what I read earlier and commented on...I think you found it....Maybe you see it...maybe not..but God will keep revealing it to you!

I love this. It conveys exactly the way I imagine your mind works, in cautious confidence and laced with just enough delirium to convince everyone else (and I mean that in an absolutely positive way.) Even if you aren't fully convinced yourself. But you should be. Brilliant. I get it.

[Brittney]

Yes exactly. Thank you, glad someone gets it

Mental illness, religion, and deception go hand in hand in the bible belt =) I'm going to send you a read request for something similar that I wrote.

[Brittney]

I couldn't agree more, add brilliance to that combo and we have a winner, looking forward to reading your piece

Excellent work. I'm wary of religion personally, but your imagery here was nothing short of excellent. Nice job!

[Faruque Azam]

Although I dont agree with the morals... I see the Emotion and Love put into the Poem. Good Job!

Lovely mixture of assuredness, madness, and brazenness :) Thanks!

You definitely have divinity in you. A child of God perhaps?
