lightness in the dark
Hey there my fellow poets! Blessings and greetings to you all for a prosperous new year. Life has been pretty rough for me since I last posted but nonetheless, as always with God's mercy and grace I've persevered. I'm finally at a point where I can start posting again. I so miss being on here and reading everyone's works. I hope that everything is going well for everyone. Let's keep the inklove flowing!

To Be

CATEGORY

To be means more than to just exist
And to matter in the lives of others
To be is to resist the temptation of negativity
For the sake of notoriety.
To be in the sense of being
Is freeing to our souls when
Our enemies are fleeing
And not being able to prosper
From what they're seeing.
You see, for me to be
Is to be all that I can be
To uplift and inspire
Those around me
To do what was asked of me
To lay the groundwork for
The next in line to become
More than I was meant to be.
To be means to have the
Wherewithal to stand
In the face of adversity
And graduate with honors
From life university
Leaving your enemies
Dumbfounded and drowning
In their own stupidity.
To be is a matter of choice
To make a difference
To have a voice
To be requires the desire
To not be just the spark
But to be the fire!
That eternal flame
That reigns for generations to come
No stone unturned nothing left undone
I want, no I am going to be, and
I want you to be, I want us all to be
Better than our predecessors
The opportunity to be is here and now
Will you take it?
What do you want to be?
