Is this what being an adult feels like?
Where shall we start?
The goal to be on a billboard
Driven by my success, black and white in papers
But rainbow effects, in my heart
This mission is more than an external goal,
It is empowered by what is within
Make your inner person great, be comfortable in your own skin
As your fears leak through your pores
It will translate through the lens
No one can be comfortable for you
So practise, do not pretend.
If you have motivation, something you love the most that keeps your mind sane
You will be more occupied with quality and most likely gain
When it is your bread and butter
You do it with much love and so much respect you will attain
Try to never overthink anything
Be a minimalist in your ways
Do not be repetitive
Show you can adapt, that you will never fear change
You may be their canvas, their product or whatever
But ensure that you are comfortable with you
Watch your dreams and hopes get bigger
Get stronger, in every way of the word
Think efficient, time and experience, watch efforts pay off and work.
When you hear no enough times, you become immune
So learn to love the hustle, and not the glamour we all assume
Labels should not label you
Do not say aspiring to be, but be aspiring – that is fine
Be sure that you promote each step you take
The reward is in the try.
Unfinished is my journey, uncompleted is the path I take
“And what do you call this period of growth?” they question me
I am going till I am done and so
Undone is what I will say.
Walk, like you love yourself
Talk, like you love yourself
Move, like you love yourself
Be honest with the truthful person within
Battle insecurities with intelligent reasoning
Like, why do you seek affection so much, knowing you will have to fight?
If the effort is not matched
Then the balance is not right
The chances of your victory are miserably low
And you want to be happy right?
Yes or no?
I am not loose or unravelled
I am figuring out the best steps
Writing my story every passing day
Recording where I tread
Just a sensitive artist
Who believes in energy
Please remember me
Keeping and fixing, as no one notices
Because if I do not like it I paint over it
I have been doing this too long and I want success like mad
In the least Kanye West way possible,
I motivate myself and so if someone does not like it, too bad.
They do not see you, until they see you
You must have tough skin
How do you share and not care?
Do you want to grow?
Well that answers everything.
My pride and joy
That’s my heart beat, pumping out of my body
I have a beautiful reason to stay grinding and so for my work ethic I am never sorry
Never feel you have to convince someone to accept you,
They will get there when they can
My fear is that I never reach my potential
Confident in this frame I have built to forever stand
You is kind, You is smart, tell yourself you is important
You are in charge of your brand.
Unfinished is my journey, uncompleted is the path I take
“And what do you call this period of growth?” they question me
I am going till I am done and so
‘Undone’ is what I will say.
Undone is a poem inspired by an amazingly talented Artist and Model Alex Undone. Alex is originally from Germany but now residing in LA, she is pursuing the modelling industry and has just celebrated the success of her first Art show. New to the YouTube world she embarks on the journey of Undone and encourages all to join her. What a beautiful movement to share in verse. She too loved what I did with her words adapted into poetry during a live periscope.
Her feedback was:
“WOW! I’m literally speechless. So many times I feel like I’m winging life and figuring things out as I go. The fact that it was able to inspire something so beautifully written is mind boggling.”
This is what motivates me to keep writing when people are able to connect with me and spontaneous collaborations like this where expressions are shared and felt mutually. Two stories but one journey.
