Belittled

#How_belitled_and_demoralized
my intuitiveness turned into a floor door mat, my innate abilities, said to be incompetent, my ego tarnished, worse when the gift I embraced in my palms from birth, as a token of blessing from heaven to this very land of men n creatures, titled whack n premature by a foreign nationalist, whom saw refugee to my ancestors soil.  The mouth that puked on my ego, the words that tossed my humility n humanity a lil astray,  my body catching temperatures so fuming n patient dismantling

a near blast of self reserve, the grounds I'm standing on trembling,  my self esteem tilting, time pacing so unusual, nothing making sense, everything sounding irrelevant n useless, all these bringing back the dragon in me to life, everything n everyone losing shape n size to my presence, hell standing attentioned to the aftermath,  my ancestors flattening, while my creator shook his head n said "there's no obstacle, which can exceeds ur strength n faith" then my whole body n mind shuts down n the human in came back to conscious

that ache, which torched my visibility, seen as a thread to a fellow brother of colour, how envy n jealousy pollutes man mind n heart, with internal hate n anger,  blocking breathing ports for citizenship n reasons unbearable to ones life n loved ones, which freed man out of Egypt"a country of starvation n human oppression slavery " n a promised land which came as the only choice not a promised one, being that of which I received my swearing, just after couple of full stomach nights, made possible by a whiteman n my personality suddenly puked upon
