Sequel

The declaration of Independence of a young woman who thought that 2022 was the end of her years by way of her own hand.

This poem is a sequel.

The waves of the oceans have risen and been met with his provision,

What I have come to understand about my father and best friend is that He is never failing,

all knowing and long-suffering.

While I was playing hide and seek, He was waiting patiently with sweet whispers of “daughter come back to me”

Depression, divination, and occultism had me in a serious chokehold. While anxiety and what they labeled major depression tackled and sought to oppress me.

The enemy thought they had delivered my final coupe de grace,

Let these stanzas flow as I take the time to boast about the God I serve, the one who calls me friend. The one

who gift wrapped my deliverance and sent it with expedited shipping.

My life is a great soliloquy written by the greatest author.

The one endorsing me, “For I created your inmost being. I knit you together while in your mother’s womb.”

I knew what you would become and what I destined you to be. The gifts I given you for my glory.

Your name is not depression, obesity, occultism, ugly, or anxiety.

Stop letting man label and name what I’ve created so beautifully.

See I recently discovered the true meaning of my God given birth name, I realized all these years I lacked my true

identity.

So I began to take on fake names placed on me,

but there is a gratitude that comes when you discover who you are.

My daughter you are profound, you are beautiful, you are intelligent, you are made in my image. I have

made you an overcomer. “For I know the plans I have for you to prosper you not to harm you, to give you a

hope and a future.”

Daughter get up and walk in the bejeweled heels I have handcrafted perfectly to fit your feet.

I am profound, I am beautiful, I am intelligent, I am special, I am an overcomer, I am made in his image.

This level of greatness and glory is just the beginning.

This is a prequel to a global blockbuster sequel. I am grateful to be called chosen and His.
