RevelationsA Poem by Proverbial_Infant
What happens when you feel like an imposter
when you look in the mirror you finally see the monster You don’t see who you expect, but its someone you have been portraying as your mask How do you become the mask you replay on the daily That was only suppose to be a façade Now I feel this becomes a limit Instead of being you, being limitless Possibilities infinite True success definite You become fake A genuine mistake Yet it protects you so it doesn’t seem wrong I want to seek out the motions of my preaching Predicting that my notions can fix my life Call me a dreamer As I grow older my wisdom I took note of yesterday actually makes my past sound like a present. Like what was given to me was a gift of understanding I want to live and learn so when I speak it sounds like I have already been there and done that I want my name to sound like strength in a sentence That when you speak of my name you have a dramatic pause at the end of your statement I don’t want people to feel sorry for me I want them to hear me I don’t want people to see my past and fear me I want them to see the beacon of light I plan on being I try to be sincere and genuinely devoted Making myself better in life to be promoted To something that means something More than a social status However to my heart I wish to see my reflection in peoples eyes Knowing that they can see I am finally realizing my disguise As exactly what it is Something that hides me from showing my true self becoming the butterfly that is no longer average No longer seen as a savage for attention . I always felt as if people had no faith in my skill Not only will I reach my potential but I will teach Teach from experience People are my audible encyclopedia each one teach one So I am obsessed with my meaning my purpose my mission Every day I close my eyes and toss as I envision The unimaginable beauty that I am allowed to create One day I will smile and look back on this specific date Saying it may be Friday the 13th but I expected a beautiful Fate Sometimes I felt gloomy Then I remember; I am entitled to my creation and my legacy Where will I find it in a world of ideas I will make my place I reckon people will remember my face To the family I see I may look like a disgrace The person I was isn’t who I prepare to stay I am enamored, I am enthralled to look in the mirror now I like the person I see Not only that , but I can see a pretty destiny In the Face of TiaMarie Why because I ain’t worried about nobody, but me For now. © 2017 Proverbial_Infant |
