Gracious (poem/rap/book#3)
Gracious
Goodness gracious.
Walked into this house
And it was so spacious.
It’s so different from my world,
I thought I was on a
spaceship.
When I got back home, it
felt like a makeshift.
I wanna swim in money
like I own a basin.
I should just be
grateful that I have the basics.
I feel so ungrateful, disappointment
on my face,
I might need a facelift.
I won’t run the streets,
I’ll just run in _esics.
I duel with bejeweled
dreams.
Finally, I’m flying off to Austin
and feeling ostentatious.
Success did not fail me,
I’m just really on a late trip.
Destiny, your date
slipped.
I’ve fallen one too many
times, my shoe is untied,
I might need to lace it.
I’m going for the win,
not a tie, so my confidence is sacred.
I’ll find my way back
home, and my way on top,
I open up to love, I’m
naked.
Destiny, thank you for your loveliness,
You
have been so gracious.
