Introspectation


You smile and I tend to smile back 
Imagine me and you co-creating beyond expectation
Knowing the hesitation held deep within as trust has been compromised
I sit and reflect on the days my friends and I would witness active shootings and as bullets fly - the power dynamic debated
I would see friends turn to enemies as words and actions are misunderstood

So I smile…exercising every bit of caution I can exert…
You have taught me to pre- conceal my emotions and energy; to the point where only by the rush of my subconscious knowing peace – would I let you in

See many may say we walked the road together but I have long envisioned the day where you will bow to the resilience of my intellect
See understanding my will power would be a fallacy not known to many, for I use the courage and strength channelled through my spirit

As my spirit drives my inner being propelling my soul far beyond expression, emotion or even fear 
My spirit guides me to strive for perfection in the midst of this imperfect world, trying not to lose myself to the misconceptions of reality.
I see… I hear… I reflect, in the ways only I can truly show my resilience by dignifying myself Those around and connected to me and those who interpret my life as if they foresaw my destiny

Living in a world- connecting my energy to those who inspire, intrigue and ignite the neurons in my brain, stimulating my interests and acknowledging the diversity surrounding me

Distance separates us- not in literal terms however, I can elevate far beyond your aura
Leaving me to hover over the pettiness of your resentment

So I smile back knowing I’ve reached a level far beyond your grasp
A level set and determined by the maturity which lies within our conversation.

I smile….  I smile back at YOU…
