I am on a mission for greatness… greater than any man/woman could imagine… <br />My soul craves perfection from my ancestors who stood before me… <br />I stand tall and erect… my confidence emanating… <br />Honing my tools of intelligence to hold power in my hands… <br />I have failed a thousand times to get it right once and I have dreamed a thousand dreams to make reality. <br />Beauty you see on my face. <br />Beauty you see within me? <br />I am the commander of my fate; I am the master of my soul… <br />With God’s footprints leading my way… I am in control. <br />Many ask why I do things the way I do… I am not a common woman, and it’s my right to be distinctive should I choose to be… <br />However, I live humble… never to judge. <br />The challenge that I seek, is the guarantee of a stronger me… that it will be fulfilled despite the clutched bludgeoning… <br />I am who I am and I must continue to grow in matters and forms. <br />Like a jigsaw you try to figure me out. <br />However, my uniqueness is only for those close to unfold… <br />My heart beats slowly to grasp the existence of time… my lungs breathe in the count of 8 to realize the grasp of life… <br />Evolving is the stages of life… and to thine own self be true. <br />Understanding and grasping reality is learning and the challenge I have overcome. <br />To not live through others, but through me… <br />I am on a mission for greatness… greater than any man/woman could imagine… <br />With my head held high and my wings splayed…<br /><br />Deanza L.
