In 373 days I am going to publish, Angelia-Woman/Child,
Yes, that is correct, on January 19, 2011,
I am writing a book about my life from ages 12-18,
Those years were some of the toughest years imaginable,
But they are also the years that made me,
They could have broken me, but through GRACE,
And whatever this that God gave me,
I made it through,
I never meant to do this,
I wrote nine books in the last four years,
And there were characters who looked and talked like me,
Cinnamon Brown,
A character who in many, many ways was the young me,
Malaaka Green for Is NO Not Clear Enough For You?
And women who I want to one day be,
Cinnamon’s Auntie Sara Dubois,
But they were all ‘Fictionalized Truths’
But yesterday during a conversation a light went off in my head,
And I knew it was time to reveal ME,
So that some young girl somewhere can see the possibilities,
Because so many think they know,
They see how I am now,
And what little bit I have accomplished,
And the assumption is,
SHE ALWAYS HAD IT EASY,
Oh honey,
Some have even had the audacity to say it to my face,
Well BABEE~
I am here to tell you,
That aint so,
Not by a long shot,
And if I am going to do this thing,
That God has decided I can do,
Then it is time to Bring It,
The Realness,
For Real!
Love and Blessings,
Angelia
