Shawn One Oh First*

My name Shawn One Oh First, nothing standing in my way will stop me
Can't you see how I'm pushing, like a woman in labour, every day I deliver
Not alot motivates me, even if you look down on me
Just like a train on railways, I'll move forward till my destination 🚄
Don't destruct my way, I might hurt you, perhaps break your bone
I request not to stand in my way, but you can stand beside or maybe behind
So that you see clearly how I move
Don't mind me when I am working, I don't joke, talk, not even stop till it's done
Don't argue, just leave me alone, I prove alot wrong
I choose a long path cause I prefer to walk it alone
Try me and you will see that solitude is my bestie
I chat with my brain, strengthen by my feelings
Motivated by a plain paper while my hands write my thoughts

I walk alone, but my spirit's strong
My mind is my guide, my heart is my song
I don't need validation, I don't need praise
I'll keep pushing forward, in my own unique ways
Unapologetic, unstoppable, and wild and free
I'll take the road less traveled, I'll make my own path
I'll rise above the noise, and shine like a lightening ⚡️ after all

"To My Heroqueenmam"

_"Without you, Earth would be a distant place...
Without your touch and voice, I'd lose my space...
No one knows me like you do, in depth and in care...
You sensed my needs, when to change, eat, sleep, and share..._

_You heard my first cry, witnessed my first laugh too...
Saw my first smile and step, with love shining through...
Twenty-four seven, in your arms I found my nest...
You solved each problem shared, and did your very best..._

_You've cared for me with love that's pure and true...
Encouraging me always, to be my best self too...
In a world that can be cruel and cold at times...
You've helped me see the beauty, in life's intertwined rhymes..._

_Heroqueenmam, with a heart so kind and strong...
You've shaped my story, where love is my song..._

_I know I have given you a lot of trouble growing up...
I imagine how you were able to tolerate me and still shuffle with other chores... you are my super woman... only your milk made me look this good...
No place like home, I agree... there's no person like you...
You're my flower, I won't let you dry... just like a beautiful black Rose... I will water you when there's no rain...
You're always new and never changing... my medicine maker and advicer...
You've been there for me, my heroine... when I need healing... my Queen, I'll serve... and my mam I can trust with my life...
You're my HeroQueenMam!"_

"'Voltage of Courage'

I have courage with high voltage, it's my advantage to do this work,
I'm from college and not a village, where doubts often lurk.
Cause I have the package that above average, when I write a message I always put my image,
If you doubt, check my page, my skills are on display.
I can guide you through life's complex forms,
Like changing a marriage certificate, no need to conform.
It's simple like cooking sausage, not cabbage, you see,
Just follow my lead, and you'll master it with ease.
I have a huge heart for a challenge and not revenge,
Don't use my storage within the passage, if you use it will be a damage.
And what you can't escape is your age,
So let's focus on growth, and turn the page.

"'Growing Pains'

Sometimes I wish I could go back,
I don't want to grow up.
This world is full of pain,
I fall in love with someone, then they just disappoint me.
I thought I'd be with everyone, but they go one after another.
Living me alone, just like I came and will go.
Every soul is on their own,
Searching for connection, but lost in the zone.
In this endless sea, I'm just a face,
Trying to find my place, in a crowded space.
Faces pass by, with fleeting smiles,
Moments of joy, lost in lingering miles.
I'm chasing shadows, of what could've been,
Left with memories, of love that wasn't meant.

But in the silence, I find my voice,
A phoenix rising, from the ashes of my choice.
I'm learning to navigate, through life's stormy night,
And finding solace, in the stars' gentle light.
Perhaps I'll learn to let go,
And find solace in the silence I know.
Maybe in solitude, I'll find my way,
And discover strength, in a brand new day.
