Literary Dreams

Imagination and reality.
I waver back and forth.
Anticipation and agony as I decide what I scribble down. 
I'm good. Very good. Not bragging, but giving myself a much deserved pat on back.
Songs play in my head uncontrollably. I'm a musician and an actress and a writer. 

Why do I bother telling you these things? 
Because it's who I am.
Everybody talks too much, therefore I write a lot too much. 
A good system. 
I listen, I observe. 
I write music, I rap, I teach. 
I'm a student and a mentor. 
I am content to follow a source I do not understand. 
I laugh and sing and forgive myself everyday because that's 
the only way to keep my soul alive. 
I am a woman who runs with the wolves. 
A spirit child with literary dreams. 
All I want to do is write and that Epiphany came very abruptly. 
I pscho-analyze myself till I'm green in the face.
A perfectionist, but only because I learn from my mistakes. 

I'm a soldier. My father taught me well.  When he wore his police uniform I would
stand in dismay and awe. 
My posture standing upright and my mind sharpening. 
I grew stronger and stronger and braver and braver, getting mean
at the obscene. Standing my own on the playground and as an adult a master on 
the streets. 
Hard on the outside, but once you broke through to my heart I melted in your 
hands. 
But keeping it all bottled up, left me feeling like I was drowning. 

I wrote a poem. I wrote another. I wrote another. 
I filled books and books with my knowledge. 
I sang the poems. 
I learned by teaching myself and listening to what I felt was right.
Nobody else. 
I trust my intuition. 
I never second guess it.

I have light green eyes and blond hair
and have a name that is Celtic and means "From God."
I've predicted the future. 
I've seen a pschyic. 
I've studied my soul. 

I've been back-stabbed and ridiculed. 
I take it with open arms. 
A female Eminem. 
I learned to love myself and accept my faults. 
After that, life was easy. 

Who's running my game of life?
I AM.
