Sunlight (Poem)
This is for anyone who is feeling down and out
The ones who are suffering from self-doubt
To the point where you want to do something but is too scared it won’t work out
I need you to snap out of it
Grab life and hold it tight with a grip
You got to work every second of the day
Because no matter how much you pray
Tomorrow is not promised
It’s the sad truth that you have to stomach
What that means is that you need to wake up every day you get and wreak havoc
Cause life is not a game like an Xbox
You don’t get a second chance
So you have to treat every day like it’s your last dance
Now the question is are you going to work or are you going to lay down and fold
Or are you going to get up and chase the gold
I suggest you start now cause life waits for no one
But I’m not going to act like I never went through the pain
I know that feeling of not wanting to experiment because you scared it’s going to blow up in your face
The key is to have faith
Have faith in what you create
Have faith in how you play
Have faith in how you perform
Even if you fall don’t feel discouraged
Cause it’s better to try
Than to live with that feeling of guilt
Because you never tried
How would life be if Mike would have never gone back out for the team when he didn’t make it the first year
No one would have known who MJ was nor would have cared
The journey is as tough as you make it be
I’m just trying to make you see
The world doesn’t owe you anything
You have to grind
You got to put in all your time
You got to do what’s necessary to shine
There are times when you just want to say forget it and lay down
But you got to get up and work
Remember this no matter how much it hurt
You got to continue to work
Because it don’t matter what you do
You will always go through the rain before you make it to the sunlight
Zodiac Sign and Comparison:
So this year is about building and growth so with that being said I thought I should start by learning about my inner self. For starters my zodiac sign. If you don’t know, now you know I am a Scorpio. Born on November 17. So I will list something I read online and compare and contrast it with my own personal knowledge of myself. I read most of this information from .www.astrology.com and www.astrospeak.com, if your wondering.
Soft but don’t show it
Yeah sometimes. That’s weird cause I’m doing it right now. I can be a little emotional at times but choose to mask it with a smile and act like nothing is going on. Often I find myself letting it out in the poems I write.
Never back down from any challenge
A hundred percent true. Well, most of the times. Put it like this. I don’t back down from challenges I’m very passionate about. If my heart not in it then I will most likely back down or show little effort in completing the challenge.
Don’t work well with others. Like to do things on their own.
This couldn’t be even more me. I don’t like group projects or activities. I WORK ALONE. But would definitely want to try and work with someone else in my poetry or something else around that area.
Sarcastic jokes
Always cutting sarcastic jokes around my peers. It’s just something I do just because. So that definitely match up.
Problem Solver
Not really. I will try to give you advice on certain situations but not really that helpful. I will try to give my honest opinion on your situation and give out some type of help. So somewhat me.
Overprotective
Definitely, when it comes to the people or animals I love. Very protective.
Self-criticism. Learn from previous mistakes.
I feel like the past few years I have been reminiscing a lot and casting a clear judgment on those situations. So I think this really applies to me and my life at the moment.
Faithful
100% even when your not. It’s a gift and a curse.
Likes to think about deep situations
I actually do this a lot. Thinking of what if’s. What if I was in this situation and how would I handle it? That type of thing. Or casting my opinions on different events around the globe that I have never been in.
Stay behind the scenes and analyze things
I swear this is my comfort zone. I’m at peace when I’m just behind the scenes. Writing behind the scenes is clearly my passion.
Likes to wear black and red
This was a weird one to read. Like it’s true but it just weird that, that was a trait. I believe it said buying a Scorpio an outfit in red and black is a perfect gift.
Scorpios can lose their temper when someone is in the way
This has happened many times before. I wish it didn’t but yeah.
Can say some very harsh things when it’s back is against the walls
I gone said some harsh things when in my feelings. It’s just like the temper thing. I gone called my blood sister a bitch. Got in multiple altercations with coaches. I am very guilty of that one.
Summary
In summary, I relate to it a lot. Some more than others. The temper thing is one I still want to research more on. Something I’m not happy about and want to better understand it. Expect a blog on that real soon. But until tomorrow, check out more of my blogs. Also, stream and download Poetic Gift. Links will be below and like, comment and follow this blog for more by K. Exum.

Why do you love to write?
Why do you Love to write?
The why behind writing, its kind of hard to explain. Writing just was one of those things I just did at an early age. That stuck with me all of these years. I really fell in love with creating my own world at my fingertips and controlling every piece of it. From creating the main character and really detailing every little thing they do. How others view them, and along the way creating these twist and turns that moves the reader to turn the page. I just love having control over the whole storyline as the plot thickens. Plus I love making points in the most creative ways. Other than that it just makes me happy. Like I experience genuine happiness when I’m so deep into a storyline or a poem. Its just one of those things you love to do.
