Fear of Beginning: In the Beginning Was Creativity

By Hilary Zakria

Fear of beginning speaks on the discovery of a God given talent. The difficulties in having to navigate through society as an outcast for having a rather unusual ability. This book visits different experiences and the emotions and thought process of certain situations. Poetry was that therapeutic gateway to express and articulate my thoughts and emotions. Fear of beginning and the subtitle, in the beginning was Creativity brings light to God being the beginning of all Life and how the creation was the first of many, so to fear beginning anything is to doubt your God given ability. This book is a glimpse of how I overcame each obstacle presented at given times.

Dear Most High,

Note To Self

The Creative thought of Creation was the first of all Creations.

I AM

I am that I am,

For whom I am,

I give glory,

To why I am,

Deserves praise,

I am that I am,

because I am,

Existed before time,

I am, created all that is

So in the beginning was Creativity

Therefore, I am Creative

None can stand before I am

Because

I am that,

I am

And I am

Love

CONFIDENT

(in)

My desire for confidence

crumbles arrogance,

For success is her offspring

she gives praise, for that

I am humbled

NEW CULTURE

The community thought it raised the boy

his ability to mask his views

allowed him to remain creative,

Have you ever met an introvert?

Who enjoys being in front of crowds,

reciting poetry,

although he struggles to keep,

Conversations not about poetry

Have you ever met an extrovert?

Who locks himself in his room?

Posting other people’s poetry,

But makes everyone he encounters

die of laughter, just by laughing

We created an extroverted introvert,

We are the culture

Our ancestors fought for this community

Our mothers yearned for,

Our fathers taught boys how to fight,

Not physically, but stay square

it may end that way

although the consequences

May lead to buck mentality

The community shamed the boy,

When he started winning poetry slams

Laughed at his confidence,

We are the culture

Our ancestors fought for

He is the characteristic of

Earth, wind, water, and fire

he wrestles with water

Weaving like the wind from

The freight forming fear

Amid fire

Erupts the ghetto evangelist

Evolving earth,

The community showed the boy,

nature
