Talent Poem by Imaanah Saleem

Let me—
Break it down for you real quick
You're not doing it alone
There's a word we use
Confidence
And it's in you
Pushing you in your zone
Can't no one
Touch you while you're in your zone
‘cause you're a
Beast while you're in your zone
You take the flor like it's yours to own
But even talent is a gift
A loan
Just something The All lent you
And The Lord Is All
The All lent you a life to live
And the means to call
Confidence derives from confiding in the self
Where El is deeply rooted within
All praise is due to The Lord Most High
And none—
Is due to men.
