Letter to Change So uh... Yeah this is awkward You're not someone I'd ever expect to write this too Simply for the very fact that I've been avoiding you That I didn't love you for quite some time Simply for the fact That when it came to someone mentioning you I used to respond with how much I hated you I'm writing this to you because That feeling has gotten me nowhere Except the circle I continue to run in and look at my own footsteps as if it's someone else's I'm learning that I need to start being honest with you Because I can never break the detrimental cycle and move forward to something new if I don't accept you And you make all things new So here it is And please take what I say as no offense but (Sigh) I don't like how uncomfortable you make me feel I don't like the fact that you try to seasonally shape shift my life more than Shang Tsung Then when I try to Sub-Zero you and leave you cold You Scorpion sting me and say "Get over here" And I do I always run back to you I have to I can't say I'm truly a superhero If I don't allow myself to know what it means to be saved I can't say that I don't want to constantly stay on the carousel of life If I'm not forced off the horses & I can't introduce you to someone else and vouch for that relationship If I'm not a friend to you myself We're gonna have arguments We're going to fight There will be sleepless nights that occur when you are ringing in my ear But I have no choice but to accept you And who you are What you do to me is crazy I wish you had some other way to make me better But I'm at the point where I'm just thankful for your thoughts Your belief in me I'm appreciative of the fact that you want what is best for me in the first place I thank you for wanting me to grow You know don't like to be pushed Sometimes I just want to sit down in a lazy boy and kick my feet up without a care in the world But that's not the life you have for me That's not why I was created So with all the uncomfort within me I say to you Thank you I love you And as much as I will have thoughts to fight you I know you're not going anywhere I know I will always be with you 📸: @tc.pix #LifeOfAPoet #APoetNamedSuperman #SuperTape

“That Poet” 07.24.2016 Red@28th Charlotte, NC

Lit Poem

I’m not average Never have been Straight A’s in 5th grade Being the Leader of every team I’ve played with Being able to hold my own with poetic Mavericks Have proved I’m not average

I’m above it Not right above it Like Drake & Weezy I soar high and make it look easy According to my family But in all honesty It’s hard It’s challenging Being an outcast not as cool As the number 3000 or a big boi Matta fact I was a big boy back in the day

And I’m still big now Just in my own world Just in my planet Just in this city Currently Words burn from me like struck matches My patches are being sewn up Like the quilts my great grandma used to do up and then put out I’m about greatness Lateness used to be my kryptonite Until I took my present position to my prayers every night

The people closest to me say I’m a light That others are like insects And will be attracted to me Whether their reasoning is positive or negative My rhetoric is what fuels me It is me It’s what makes me different I mean It’s what makes me a loner I mean It’s what makes me an outcast Sorry It’s helped me outlast the spells from hell cast upon me

Apparently I’ve changed a great deal since I turned 30 Wrong I’ve evolved And I am not playing Pokemon Go No This is the way my poetry flows from me The growth within me Is put on display To encourage others in a way That they are able to grow the same

If someone would’ve told me that this would’ve been my life I would’ve been like “yeah right” I didn’t know there was puff to my power No Buttercup I didn’t believe my luck would transition Into favor But still my flavor is unlike anyone else’s My verses breathe more than words to the masses Creep in slow like molasses Then send minds into backflips

I was born for this Thank God I’m me Praise God He wanted this for me To be a light To be different To be a poet To be an outcast that fits in when needed A bleeding out but blessed up man That knows how to tap into feelings That knows that love and growth Can save everyone and everything

The Last Day (New Joint)

10 years ago

I had no conception of where I was supposed to be who I was supposed to be and where I was supposed to be But I was alive Failed plans and goals can be a static shock of motivation if you let it The journey began there

It continues now at the last day of what society considers to be the prime of ones life Nah I'm stepping into mine now Nothing can stop me now Everything is mine for the taking now As I ascend I look down on the troubles of my twenties and laugh like "You thought you had me huh?"

Nah bruh

I realize now that I am Oprah before the talk show Bill Gates before windows Steve Jobs before iPhones Mike Jordan before his second 3-peat throne and the mentioning of Jesus in the bible after he was born

I'm on now This last day of the past is a new beginning now I was always a late bloomer Never the cool kid in school until I stopped wanting to be cool A fool at heart A tool to spark inspiration A man that understands that being human can be debated as being tougher than being a superhero

I'm both though

My life is a testimony about the creation of my cape How the weight of the world can shake one's shoulders if they're not built to sustain planets Clearly I've been able to stand it I'm still here I'm still breathing I'm still alive and I'm here for a reason

I thank God I thank my family I thank my friends I thank my enemies and I thank my eyes For showing me the movie of my life so that I can learn from its quotes and scenes

After today I will have been alive for three decades But at this last day I realize 30 isn't the decline It's the upward spiral I was born to climb The ascension The leviation The growth The peak The point in my life where I knew everything after this is going to be more than just sublime....
