What's up world !?! D-Natural back again & this time with another brand new original poem written by yours truly !!
This morning , while looking at myself in the mirror, I was inspired to compose a self-portrait of myself, but in written form .
Usually when you think of an artist creating a self-portrait, you think of a painting, like what Da Vinci or other great artists have done of themselves . Since I'm not a painter or an illustrator of any sort (though I would like to be) I decided to write my self-portrait , since that's what I do !
As I looked upon myself & reflected on the person that I am , fully present in the moment , the words just started pouring out of me . I think I came up with a pretty accurate view of myself for this time . Perhaps I'll write more continuations on this subject as I continue to evolve as a person . But for now , here's ME in written form . . Enjoy ! Peace & Blessings !
"Daniyel Christopher Artis"
(Self-Portrait)
By: D-Natural
His very name means
"God has judged the carrier of Christ the artist"
His name bares his destiny
Pride in representing himself with great modesty
With the natural ability
Of humility
He seeks to enlighten the world confident
Of his essence
Though at times in his life treated like an unworthy peasant
misunderstood by those
wishing to fulfill their own self-interest
He is the culmination
Of past generations
Of a great heritage
Neglected as a child he raised himself
to exhibit what he's inherited
Beyond his youthful years in maturity
His mind composed classical & jazz compositions
While daydreaming during class in elementary
Never ignoring the voice of God in him
Translating it to his poetry
Teased for being unique, bullied for being different
While deep down he understood of being envied for his presence
Creativity was his gift & curse
From birth
He's practiced his craft for his mission on Earth
To heal & inspire people
Through extracting beauty
From everything he sees
In abundance
Allowing his audience
To harmonize with his existence
Equipped with Aquarian
Intuition
Knowing others will bring opposition
To his difference
Comprising opinions
To substitute what isn't appreciated of his
He ignores
Their ignorance
His purpose
Transfixed
Upon his renaissance
He finds solace
In Jesus
Who he relates to from evidence
Of a person who transcended
With what he is dealing with
He proudly carries his own cross
Internalizing salvation through his creations
His art is pieces of his soul sculpted into physical manifestations
Humble genius
& he's forever in debt to the women
Who have fallen in love with him
For truly actually appreciating him for him
& though he desires relationship
With one
To love
It's a challenge
To share space with His muse he's exclusively in love with
That being his music & prose
He's afflicted
By his talent
For creation
Having faith in this occupation
By this his art will be his redemption
As he watches the world open up to him
Decoding observed truths through his compositions
Choosing to walk around inside out exposing his inner visionz
He accepts the lifestyle of an artist
For it is his true nature
God has knighted him
Befitted
With a keen sense
He's content
From seeing evidence
Of others inspired & entertained by his relevance
Relying on His intelligence
His enterprise boldly goes
Where other souls
Overlook
A star on trek
To beautiful enlightenment
His life will be the epitome of it
His name
Daniyel Christoper Artis
