In The Prescence Of Greatness

In The Prescence Of Greatness

A Poem by Monique Jackson
"

Never Be With Somebody Else Wants You To Be...Love and Lies Don't Mix!

"

Not your average kind of woman,
I don't need you to complete me,
God made me whole from day one,
Trust me he didn't leave behind any pieces,

I don't need a Savior,
Someone to rescue me from the hell I lived in,
I don't need you to save me from my nightmares or myself!
I already had blood shed over me back on the cross at Calvary…

Your money is no good to me,
Your game needs reconstructive surgery,
And settling is never an option so don't waste my time,
Realize you're in the presence of a woman not a little girl,

Highly educated,
Extremely motivated,
Complete sophistication,
Nobody but me is considered as my competition!

They try to imitate this,
Some wish they could duplicate me,
But best believe there is only one Monique!
Besides I don't think the world could handle two of me…

I walk with confidence,
I smile with grace,
I love like it's my last breath,
Obtaining a woman like me isn't an easy task,

I easily intimidate,
Mostly because I'm so opinionated,
I don't believe in allowing a man to fast talk me,
Come proper and correct when approaching me…

I speak English,
Keep your slang and Ebonics for the streets,
Haven't you noticed you're in the presence of a Queen?
And a "yo, what's up ma?" Will get you nowhere but ignored!

You can't change me,
I'm not a science project for you to complete,
I'm Greatness because I'm the daughter of a King!
So making me into a replica of a mindless chick will never be!

Accept that I am who I say I am,
Know that if it weren't for God I would have ended me,
With the life I lived it's a miracle I still have some sanity,
My words live me and they breathe me better than you ever will!


I am great!
That is a fact!
Your opinion is irrelevant,
You can love it or hate it, just know that!

Recognize when are in the presence of Greatness:

God
Raised an
Extraordinary
And
Tenacious
New
Evangelical
Spiritual
Soldier

Greatness I am and Greatness I will forever be…
