I have very daring goals for my art and my writing–plus, the plan is to take all of you with me as I go there. Without all of you, none of this is possible! So please let me know what you want.

This poem is to empower you by reminding you that you shouldn’t just try to be like a specific person. That’s very limiting. Aim to be like them, but just so that you can surpass them! Thank you for watching!
Please see the video for my recent poem, “Astray Beauty” above! The poem is reminding everyone that there is no such thing as, “knowing the exact path you are supposed to be on in life”. We are all lost. We all wake up to a day without having any ideas of what it has in store for us. But, in a way, that makes life a little beautiful. That makes you beautiful.
Elijah Jovan McClain (February 25, 1996 – August 30, 2019) was a 23-year-old black massage therapist from Aurora, Colorado, who died after being placed in a chokehold by police and being sedated by paramedics. On August 24, 2019, an Aurora citizen reported to police that McClain was wearing a ski mask and looked “sketchy”, although the caller also indicated that he did not believe anyone was in danger, and that he believed McClain was unarmed. The three police officers who were involved in the incident, Nathan Woodyard, Jason Rosenblatt and Randy Roedema, said that their body cameras were knocked off during a struggle with McClain. McClain was forcibly held to the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back, after which an officer applied a chokehold and paramedics administered ketamine to McClain to sedate him. While being transported to the hospital McClain went into cardiac arrest. Three days after arriving at the hospital, he was declared brain dead, and was removed from life support on August 30. McClain’s autopsy was inconclusive.

Thank you for watching. I would love to know what you think ❤
“Completed” is a poem about coming to a point in your life where you get to sit down, tell younger generations about the long and purposeful life you’ve lived. It’s a gesture of praise to our elders for all they’ve done and all that they mean to us.
Thank you for watching. Please share with your favorite elderly person.
Trust the process. There are no mistakes. Keep striving for the end goal. It’s already yours. You just have to allow yourself to go through whatever it needs to in order to get to it.
