Mecca Sharrieff Quarter 2

Overview: 

For the second quarter, "freedom" was like my middle name. For I was able to discover things about myself through poetry and improve my skills as a writer. I decided that I always wanted a journal, but am too busy to write in one. Therefore, I created one by recycling a shoe box. Then, I printed and 10 of my poems onto the cardboard box. Throughout the quarter, I have written over 20 poems. That would be a lot to include, so I provided a sample. Writing poetry was sometimes difficult, with the occasional "Writer's Block", however I pushed myself through them all. Below is a picture of the final product, as well as one of my best poems I wrote throughout the quarter. 


"The Seed" 

I am the analytical epitome of proximity 

the exemplary identity of a leader 

trapped behind a glorious mask

I throw ash in the faces of those in the traces 

trying to reveal the veil that entrances 

these simple minded people and I to equals 

trying to make sense of the world  

now thou say all is forgotten 

funny how we reminisce on time while they plotting 

creating scenes of the future stemming from our dreams 

turning the desirable fate into clear reality 

crisp as the wrinkles that river your uniform pants 

I keep the haters on their feet, 

while I move to the task like ants 

that's why their faces dance 

like a million of me in their pants and 

I bet they wish it was them instead of me on the thrown 

I like the sweet taste of victory, so I take it home 

where I reside back to this contraption and desolate transaction 

pressing keys along this board to express my letters 

form meaning into art and poetry all together 

combine us like a mixed breed 

I'm calling to the Seed

and I try to conquer all of the negative energy 

transform it into my inner chi 

I would love to see you try to defeat the optimism 

for I balance yin and yang so you will see no change 

when the mask of the peoples try to phase me 

I let it roll of my back and suffix your self esteem 

I am the prefix that can changes your being 

within all of the drama I am the hierarchy you are seeing 

you should try to make sense of the puzzle pieces you are missing…
