This blog is a way to share my poetry with the world as well as to connect the world with me and my ventures (the first of which being my first book "Blue, Purple, & Scarlet). There will be poetry added frequently as well as streams of consciousness coming from complex and overworked mind of a young, educated, black man working to become a success. Enjoy the ride.

Stream of Consciousness # 2
So, I've been missing for a few days. Sorry, i'm new to this blogging thing, but I want to make it an avenue towards success so I'm back to it. I only have one follower right now, and he's and old friend, but patience and time will bring increase from God. Not to say i'm waiting for anything to just happen. "Good things come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle." Abraham Lincoln said that. Hustle. Lincoln knew we had to get out here and hustle in the 1800s so I dont have any excuse at all. What I do on a day to day is make efforts toward ultimate success. Acheivement is the word that most suitably narrates my life. Acheivements are my checkpoints, my mile markers, and the gas that keeps me running. I suppose that metaphor is very fitting too because being in your early 20s feels like driving in circles. You're trying to find your way and establish yourself, you keep ending up in places you thought you were already beyond. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. I hope i'm not just going in circles, i hope there's a finish line. I still haven't seen that checkered flag but I am moving in faith. With that said... To all my prospective followers and readers: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I'm gonna need it...
