-substantial Soul- Poem by Rashaud Malik Williams

I am created by energy that never cease to exist.
I know my worth, the power that resides within.
Substantial soul, A soul that's creative & free.
Substantial soul, alone to the rivers & the seas.

I am created by stars through space & time.
The light that penetrates my aura, a flame, a fire.
Never understood pain in this existence.
Spirit of flame & fire.
Why does nature become so cruel
but beautiful in the mist.
Why does human nature become so beautiful
but so ugly in the end.

Substantial soul, the secrets you behold.
Substantial soul, left out in the cold.
Substantial soul, powerlessness I can't control.
Substantial soul, all the fears we are made of.
