ILLUMINATE
Let me Illuminate your mind with this ride
Never be too afraid to step outside
When darkness arises please don’t let it crowd you.
Illuminate your mind.
You’re intuitions are true
Illusions are real
Nothing is the same.
But since my mind wanna play?
Allow me to show you how my illumination slays
Ya See I’m not for the east or the west.
I represent my people.
Through the challenges
Through every test
Coming all da way from the south.
So listen closely
I’m not just running my mouth
I don’t have to be careful with how I write
Or how I speak
What I say is for the strong.
Not for the weak
I take the long route because I choose to.
Pay attention to the Game
Bust through the Clouds
I thought I warned you.
My pen will illuminate the heart
Mind and soul.
My Father in Heaven?
His love is worth more than Gold.
Staying true to the Game.
That’s why he saved me.
Illuminate my heart.
Forever praise thee.

“Illuminate” speaks deeply to the power of resilience, faith, and self-expression. Reading it, I feel a strong connection to the determination it takes to rise above life’s challenges while staying true to one’s roots. The poem’s rhythm and raw honesty remind me that the path we choose is often difficult but rewarding when guided by purpose and divine love. It resonates with my own journey, where every test, every moment of doubt, has been a step toward growth. The words emphasize courage, not just in writing or speaking boldly, but in living authentically. It’s a call to shine, even in darkness, and to never lose sight of the values that anchor us. Thank you, Poetress Maddam X, for penning such a powerful and inspiring piece that speaks to both the heart and soul.
[…] Reminiscent of a time not too long ago when I felt truly loved by someone I thought was different— someone I truly believed in my heart was special. […]
