Random Thoughts by Barbara Owens

I am starting to question

Am I safe

In this America

Why am I questioning this now?

Do I not see

What could happen to me

Do I not have eyes to see

What is it about me

I’m confused, you see

I don’t understand, I’m just me

Who would have known, when I came to Be

I would be such a complexity

I still need to struggle

Just

To be Free

But that just it

It’s my complexity

What is it that you fear the most

Is it my Integrity

Or how the Earth moves when I speak

Or the moves that I make while you sleep

Shout out to Maya Angelou, she never missed a beat

My mind is a powerful muscle, you see

I keep it trained so that it can be a protector for me

That is Key

To train yourself with Almighty help

To be the best you can be

You and I know that thing you fear most

Is the very thing we can’t physically see

But yet it’s in rotation, as if

It’s a Necessity

It’s sad, it prevents you from Seeing me

But it’s your loss, not mine

I’m still leaving My Legacy
