To anyone who voted for my poem “Starshine,” thank you!

"In every tear, there's a lesson. Within each lesson, there's a blessing."

I’ve grown roots in my bed.
And as my mind and body continues to rot,
I hope something beautiful
Will sprout from the cavity in my chest.

"I am a proud African, no matter what other nationality I may possess. I am a product of Africa

A Men’s depth is more than the volume of his net acquisitions.

My mother’s Success is Privilege to me. But my Success is Success to my mother.

She’s broken because she believed.

And he’s okay because he lied successfully.

I believe anyone without a certain amount of madness is insane.

My worth is unwavering, my purpose undeniable. No words, no opinions, no doubts can diminish the sacred essence within me. For I am fearfully and wonderfully made, a testament to God's love and grace."

"I am a child of God, clothed in the divine image, handpicked and cherished by the Creator.
