Destiny
Robert Frost and Edgar Allen Po
Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou
Four great poets that inspired my soul
With Gold that can't stay and hearts that beat
To the strong black woman and tiger in me
It was clear to see that I was destined to be, a poet
What started in a classroom that led to an obsession,
Sparked the insanity of this passive aggressive message
With words like honey that cascade from my pen
With visions that come to me like a prophet with His men
It was clear I was destined to be a poet
To understand this Mania is to understand the Universe
Can't you see this destiny?
An infatuation that starts with paper and ends with pen
Where words of worlds collide in which I strive to believe in
I seek no fame, no accreditation
As humble as I can be, understand that this is true to me
I am destined to be a poet
