Group Self Portrait

Nile Blue

I and I had an impostor

Standing in between his should

And what I and I self ought to,

 

So I and I stuck another I in the middle

With I god given name

Now I am, yes I am, yes I am,

Yes Jack, god had my back,

My impostor lost I and I dem game.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem was inspired by Audre Lorde, Jack Harlow and a balcony shot of Queen Elizabeth II... long story... “Being can be felt as the ever present I AM that is beyond name and form. To feel and thus know that YOU ARE and to abide in that deeply rooted state is enlightenment, it is the truth that Jesus says will make you free.” - Eckhart Tolle ‘The Power of Now’ While I am not a worshipper of Jesus, I totally identify with Eckhart’s observation and feelings and ...if I may say... with Jack Harlow when he says, “Y’all want Givenchy, y’all need Jeezus.” #furthernotes #lightenup #havealovelyday One more thing to Note: Being your full, and entire self and/or selves - “...in spite of the pressure to express only one to the exclusion of all others...” - Audre Lorde (‘Your Silence Will Not Protect You’) - is as much about your ‘will’ as it is as granting yourself the permission, to both achieve that and inspire others by that very achievement. Perhaps you can begin to also see why the Artiste WILL . I . AM . is so truly inspirational...beyond what he does, and more for Who. He . Is ... which is truly First Class. #justsoyouknow ☝🏿🛫

    really like the creativity
    a great read, thanks for sharing
    (you should keep some notes
    on what this poem was about
    or inspired by
    because in my experience
    when i scribble, similarly
    abstracted poems
    later-on, reading them back
    I tend
    to be confused, by myself
    and I just stare
    as if removed from, myself
    wondering
    wtf was I thinking...?
    lmao
    but that's just me
    and my limited intellect
    making a fool of me)
    sorry for rambling on

      I agree. And I do. I keep the notes in the same place where I write the poems... in my heart. 🙏🏿
