I used to be an academic
I used to aim high and achieve
I used to be a little girl
I used to dream of the impossible
I used to live life to the fullest
I used to never doubt myself
I used to express myself
I used to know who I am
I used to smile with my eyes
But now, now I'm an actress...
I'm a high underachiever
I'm a little woman
I dream of the possible and live as though i'm empty
I don't know who I am
'Cause I express myself through my thoughts and not my emotions
I smile with an act
I want to be what i used to be and express myself
Like my name, I used to be blessed
But now? Now i'm cursed
My genuine smile used to light up a room
And now I wish i'd die soon
I used to wanna be lyrical..
More outspoken.. But this poem? It's a miracle
I used to, with ease, be able to flow it...
But I really wish I was still a poet...
About Me
- b3autY_sPot
- Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa
- I grew up in the dusty streets of Soshanguve, a township in Pretoria; South Africa. Grew up with my mother who is an amazing woman that raised my brother and I all by herself. For curiosity reasons, my parents are divorced and my mother is just amazing enough to look after the both of us. I found out at a young age that I'd lost my sister and faced with numerous other challenges growing up, poetry was my way out. That played a big role in who I am today and has earned me a few achievements,the biggest being granted the opportunity of being a published poet in an Anthology called "Daybreak" and having earned other achievements and also making a start of writing for a few artists and producers. I'm too a daughter, a friend, an aunt, a blessing, a miracle, a lyricist, and therefore, a lyrical miracle. I'm not unique because I'm not like everyone else 'cause everyone's unique... Get me?? I love music, i love drama, i love basketball (i DO play it but I'm no player), I love my mother, I love myself and my first love, i love poetry...
