Hi! I’m Sol 🙂
a native New Yorker, born and raised 
in Queens was where I spent nearly most of my days
studying, distilling all the knowledge at school
daydreaming ’bout boys, wishing I was as cool
nestled in the libraries, enjoying the classics
had a love for the earth, a love for the family,
a duty-bound ambition weighted on me substantially
with a vision of a day: me traveling like madly.
I laid my foundation
committed to school
I found early success,
joined the corporate pool
I achieved my goals, my then dreams
but found myself lost for the next valuable thing.
I was in the dark, the waters deep
Life keeps moving, what am I to bring?
What am I to feel? What am I sense?
I’m grabbing for something that’s in infinite fragments.
Ms. Dickinson said to go out with a lantern
I grabbed my backpack
to go look for what mattered
I looked within
instead of without
and found much more than I could ever amount.
Along the way, I had my doubts
But once you reach the bottom, ain’t nothing that you can’t surmount.
Progressively, I must announce,
old habits died hard, healed, I directed reroutes
the programming changed
I was in control
the healthy amount, I was on patrol.
I can speak with you now, having found my own light
Like Joan, I became my own shining knight.
The Joy is here, that Euphoria high
I am grateful to be born,
at last, Alive.
Hello & Welcome
