I was made for this

​Here. Doing the thing, this Actor thing. Patiently waiting my "turn" yet I don't stop moving. Sometimes I worry. Sometimes. I keep going, though. What alternative is there? Stop? Nah, that simply doesn't compute with who I Am.
I was made for this
Born and bathed for this
Even when I had no clue
That this was my lane,
The Universe aligned me for this
A continual batch of steps
Ordered fresh by the Divine Infinite
Doused in Grace and Inspiration
So there is no "quit"
Nah the pathways are too lit
Passion ablaze to light my way
Again, I was made for this
Prayed for this
Got frustrated and meditated
Fasted and then praised for this
No hot sauce in my backpack
But still swag
Slide a script my way
And I slay that shyt
Season gets light
So, I write
Still, I rise and grind
Self-made, I stay lit
Put in my heart, gave it my soul
Every existence of my being
Driving toward the goal
Not a destination, I'm the journeyman
The goal is to grow, absorb and evolve
Emit my best and even better than
So i'm not stoppin'
It's not an option
Times get hard, the tides get rough
But so what, that's Life
And in it there will always be sacrifice
So I don't silence my soul
For some corporate dough
I much rather this Artistic flow;
​Even when it hurts
It's not just a job, it's my life's work
I won't shirk the responsibility passed down to me
It's rich history, the honor of storytelling
The tradition of the Griot...
How many of yall know? Do your research
Discover what its work was worth for society
Basically creative piety
See why this is the life for me?
I can go on and on and on and on
But for those who want to know more
Read more, learn more about me,
Book me.
