My Ego

I'm in louder than a bomb and our name is Souljourn of a poetic pilgrimage so i used our name in this poem

Im an African American female living in north kanas city

I'm the realist malevolent woman walking

With my nose buried in this paper

My bombarding voice flows from the depths of my abdomen

Mainly alto and tenor

As I sing I'm using it to escape from this long lasting hell

To be famous has been my dream before I could spell

As I walk I don’t walk with confidence

I walk with my head down

Blasting music in my ears as if I don’t matter

But with the way my life is set up….

 

Actually I do

I'm a sick flatter

As I sing these rhymes the peoples’ eyes alight with life

As if I'm Christina Aguilera

I'm a poetic pilgrim writing and rocking these poems with my Souljourned soul

Like Shakespeare I'm raw when it comes to making jaws drop...hit the floor

As I rhyme I work these erratic terms into something that makes people burn with passion

Cause that’s what’s happenin’

 

As the seasons alternate I become cold and stale

My soul inhaled in this black hole alone

I need someone there to guide me

I'm not egotistic I'm lonely

Only my appearance doesn’t show me

 

I look narcissistically happy

My eyes with burning joy and my mouth laughing

People surrounding me; hounding me with advice questions

Asking me why am I am so sappy in love with the words of a book

Turning pages as if it’s my last look

No one understands what shook me in the words of my favorite

Poet: Robert Frost

The way he writes his words gives me a passion to be heard

To be louder than a bomb is my symphony

So follow me in a Souljourned posse
