Author’s Note + Disclaimer:
This poem was created during my creative writing course during my graduating spring semester. Originally, I approached poetry as a ‘Dr. Seuss-esque’ type of genre that needed rhyming lines, and because I didn’t write like that, I believed that it didn’t work for me. But I quickly realized that that wasn’t true.
This poem was my first personal work that wasn’t submitted for a grade. When you read, all I ask is that you be courteous, cite me as a source if you quote it, and comment your thoughts below. This is a copyrighted piece! Enjoy <3.
Synopsis:
My piece is a poem with themes of human duality, specifically sanctimoniousness and carnality with the Southern Black Church-Girl. Specifically, me, my desire, my battle, and my balance with God.
Note: This piece is updated regularly.
