“essence”

this next era is about enjoyment

overflow of success and sex in the morning

waking up in paradise,

brown eyes and blue midnights

peridot dreams,

greener side of life getting me high

even though i had no idea of my direction

on the path, God gifted clarity to every place i stopped in

until i recognized the glow of my north star in the madness,

a prayer delivered to me as if my angels wrote the psalm

my essence is that of victory

overcoming desertion is my destiny,

beauty is meant for me

they could delay my hopes

like the planets in their transits

but to overcome, God had already planned it

they swear i need magic,

i didn’t succumb to a dark decade of the soul

their wishes alone couldn’t derail me,

so they say i’m supernatural

they’ll tell me i’ve had enough before the overflow,

afraid i’ll have it all

sell me short as you wish,

God swears i’ll have even more

the flash detonates,

and the moment is sealed with gold

how does it feel to own the world

and return her to her soul?
