“Enigma” hit home for me in a way I didn’t expect. It’s like the poem pulled words out of my own experiences and put them into a rhythm I didn’t even know I needed. The idea of being misunderstood yet standing strong in your own truth really resonates. I’ve always felt like there’s a part of me people don’t fully get, but this poem reminds me that it’s okay—that’s what makes me who I am. The line about running with lions and leading sheep gave me chills because it speaks to quiet strength and leadership without needing to prove anything to anyone. And the pen as venom? That’s powerful—words are my weapon too, and they’ve gotten me through battles no one even knows about. Thank you, Poetress Maddam X, for this reminder to embrace my complexities and keep slaying, one word at a time.
