When I...Met Me

Eclipsed

in many presentations

hidden

within a world

of

fantasies,

someone...

who, you may think

has it

'all together'

When in honesty

I come before you

this day,

nude...

trying to

hold my own

in the palms

of my hands.

And as far as I

can see

it slips

S-l-o-w-l-y

through

the

tips

of

my

fingers.

Trying to put together

the pieces,

that have been missing

for many years,

or

is that I've been in denial of such?

Letting people put me

in a category

when it matters not,

what I look like

on the outside,

it matters

what pumps inside

the genious brain

that remain a Mystory

within.

See,

instead of assuming,

just say

I don't understand

and seek the knowledge

that will soon enhance

your

wisdom.

Nevertheless,

I want to continue

in addressing what I think...

I woke up yesterday,

CLUELESS

of these actions,

a figment of my own

Imagination,

while I attempt

to interpret

'who you are'

At this age,

what is your purpose...

in this Life?

Questions

-NO Answers-

I've come to realize,

that all that I have done,

came back to haunt

this spirit of Love.

Always being 'the one'

who see's past man's

imperfections,

when all in the same

you riducle Me.

Is that fair?

No, it's not!

But I know

that you are a Dark and

tarnished person

who has hidden

scars, just like me.

Instead of growth

you have succumb

to a differnt life form

not so pleasing. 

Am I not, whom I suppose to be?

I am

exactly, where I want to be

I am

exactly where I should be,

last,

I am

the one

with this being said,

I am,

Ephiphany

theLady

the Poestess

of

Spoken Truth

in the beginning of

words in songs,

while I seek

preseverance

in

Life

as I continue

on dark roads

within my journey

I notice a small light

at the end...

Well, I said my prayers

as I always do, and

you know what?

Last night,

was

the first night

I had a good

night's rest....

to wake up

and re-introduce

Myself to world,

as I am

 more

no less

and

introduce myself

for the first time

to

ME.

    Beautiful write, Sis. This was very powerful and seemed full of strength. I liked the part of how it doesn't matter what is on the outside, but what is within and in the brain. Lots of truth to that. People are so much more than just what is seen on the surface. Thanks for sharing your talent, Sis and keep that pen flowing.

    wow... and wow again! this was incredible! i loved the tone of it... as you are just stating the facts, but with poetic flair...
    loved the lines~

    'instead of assuming,
    just say
    I don't understand'

    assuming gets me into trouble... and i have learned to not be filled with too much pride so i can ask what i don't understand.

    Well done poetess. One thing I noticed:

    "I've have a good
    night's rest...."

    You may want to delete "have" or change the contraction "I've" to "I" alone. Write on. One.

    THAT'S MY SIS.....

    I knew you were my Sis from overseas...and I knew you would introduce yourself as great as you are all over...Inside and out....
    I was all in awe by this poem of your hand...
    you have so much to offer...and I am so happy you're seeing that yourself too...Sometimes it takes a few years to understand things about yourself...
    Nothing is written in the stars to read...but
    I loved to read this...it even made me speechless for a while....

    I wouldn't expect anything less from you

      I LOVE IT
      I don't have to do anything
      Plus it's too hot for hair here

      Thanks again, precious...Love you

  • I like this a lot. I agree with Novy, that this is something that we should all do at some point. I agree, it should not matter what a person looks like on the outside, it is the inside that counts. But, that reasoning is very rarely used.

    You are going places, places that might take you far and wide in your writing. You display such depth of knowledge about where your at and where you want to be.

    This comes through in this piece. It is a sort of autobiographical piece that really shows people the 'REAL' you. Well done for this, Piff. Loved it.

    Masterful Write about YOU..

    This is something we all should do and that's re-introduce ourselves; to our own-self. This shows the true sign of a mature woman, a smart woman, one with direction, and you know where; you're going in life.
    One in control of her power of choice. Knowlege is power and education is the key. Keep growing Phiff in you beauty...Soon your name in lights I will see...G'Momma

      Always
      much love and definately respect.
