(Poem) “Who Are You?”
Author: Dezalita Ranee Green
Would you believe me if I told you that I know exactly who you are! I see past the
facades, yeah life’s been hard but every time the big man wakes you up, that’s your chance to a
fresh start! I get that you’re mentally frustrated and emotionally scarred. But as long as there’s
life in your body, you gotta play your part.
Whatever happened to you, already did! I’m so sorry that your trauma always makes you think
back to when you were a kid, but this is reality ya dig?… Nobody at this date should have to pay
for what you’ve been through! It happened, let it go! Not for them but for you. You either can
pass out hate or decide to be great!
Just understand that what you give is what you get! It’s time to be intentional, you gotta
be more precise. You can blame whoever if you want, but at the end of the day, it’s your life. You
can only get hurt when you focus on hurt, that’s the law of attraction, now it’s time to take action
on what you desire.
Whoever told you that you didn’t deserve to be happy was a liar, you have to make a
choice to vibrate higher. Don’t you wanna get back to that person before the pain and trauma and
rainy days? You gotta pray and focus on the good, because playing victim will only leave you
yearning to be saved. How long are you gonna let the wounds from your past hold you down? In
order to heal, you have to acknowledge that mfs treated you how they felt on the inside. You
have to claim the strength behind that trauma in order to restore that love, confidence, and trust
back into yourself, even if you take it slowly. You’ve been lost for a while, I get it. But now it’s
time to take a stand and figure out who you are! Because what you’ve been through should never
determine that!
Reader thoughts – This poem Titled: Who are you -? inspires me as a reader and reminds me of a movie I watched recently. In the movie the man became blind as a child and his dad would tell him to turn his weakness into his strength. Never stop being as best a person as you can be; a gentle nature can be a weakness, a gentle nature can be strength. A brute nature may scare away a beast but a brute nature will also scare away the butterfly of peace.
