Shoot!

Shoot!


To the top.

Immense pressure...

Pushed me down to the floor.

Time and time again.


I visualized the pain I couldn't verbalize.

Bloodied and brutalized.

I lay in pools of blood, sweat, and tears.


Wondering if I would ever be able to break free.

Of who they wanted me to be.


Who everyone thought I should be.

Associated with riches and lackadaisical resolve...

I chose to shift focus, shift my balance, and reach for the stars.


I launched into the ether... with no one to hold onto and nothing to build upon.

All I had was the broken yet beautiful shell that God had lent unto me.


I pushed through the darkness.

I fought to get to the light.

I looked around and had broke through the stratosphere...


All around me were the grand company.

Of the stars that He hung...


And as Job wondered, I gawk at the audacity I possessed to question his plan.


Yours faithfully,

Sam Qavah John.
