Me

Wednesday, January 18th, 1984
Was when life opened for me its door
I entered, vague of what I’m in for
But deep is the mystery of the creator
 
I set off through the fast track of time
Cautiously, heading towards the unknown
Many I have seen in this journey of mine
And so much many, I’m still to behold

And I have witnessed days and nights
Won the dark and prided in the light
To save the string that binds me with life
Many times I struggled with death’s knife
 
I knew the pain in the path’s thorny side
Many dishearten evils, I took in my stride 
I have enjoyed where sweetened my heart
And the feeling when prevailed over the dark
 
Neglected and considered as a wild seed
But equipped with the zeal of my wise breed
I proceed in conquering my intense needs
And came out a fruitful plant among weeds
 
Times, I fought as my unduly daily terrors
Repercussions of my unruly early errors
Though ridden with battlefields scars
My lights still shine more than the stars
 
Mostly delusive belief I was fanatically taught
Though In the places, for the truth I sought
But thank God for my grandma and her teachings
To the very best of top-most I will be reaching
 
I kept it real as a wise Afrikan with seven senses
Strictly shining my bright lights for others to see
Adding flavors to the makings of my ancestry
And still keeping safe, me, myself and I, my trinity      
 
Today, Wednesday January 18th, 2006
With raw ambition, I’m set to get things fixed
And you know, Incomplete is my story yet to be
Until my journey is complete and no more of ME
