Public Service Announcement

It’s not about ego/ 
It’s about feeling regal/
Regardless if you're a lion or a seagull/ 
Something meaningful/ 
But most just don't get it/ 
Like how most rhymes are read but soon they will forget it/
 I’ve never met it but I’ve felt it/ 
Something so real only with soul it can be dealt with/ 
It help me melt it/
To make glitter from grit / 
And I’ll be the first to admit I am not **** 
Never claim to be either/ 
But if I said I didn't love it then I’d be a deceiver/ 
I’m so tired of smothered receiver/ blaming others for you being 
An under achiever/ better cleaver that stuff off, and clever something special on/
 or you'll end up like one of Life’s chess games and played for just a 
Pawn

Love Always
B. Maxine.
