"It's not over till it's over"


I was late for registration,
Couldn’t take part in the non-sense of graduation.
I had to drop out of college, and give in to my fantasies,
Driven by my belief in Yeezianity.

My head is spinnin’ in so many circles it’s like a pinwheel,
The forced lie after lie creating gusts of wind that I can’t feel.
They say I’m a Lion, the King of It All,
But I don’t even got a throne or a cat to call.
I will represent the Chi-Town till my last breath,
Inhaling so much more than air, like the Windy City itself.

The North is growing tears, crying through the night
I carry her all day, her precious little body is so close to me, so tight.
She’s so cute and petite, I just want to dress her up like me.
Wait a few months and she’ll have Ralph on the top, and j’s on her feet.

Just got married let’s see how this goes,
She’s the love of my life,
Even though her family psycho.
But every second with her
Is a second worth living.
I’m the lion and she’s the lioness,
We’re the dynamic duo,
This is my life, so reflect, holmes


The author's comments:
We were told to write a Persona poem for my literature class this year.I picked Kanye West as my subject.I had to reflect and feel like I was walking in his shoes. Most of his music is inpired by a progression of his life. People sometimes can not look past his hard exterior and look deeper into what her went through and what he has achieved.
