“I am the seed that lies in retrograde from past trangressions , This skin is pentence for who I use to be. I walk the shoes of abandonment and seek the face of endearment . I wake in between the sound of my spirit moving across the room like restless papers. My history is stored on to temporary platlets marked with DNA Destiny’ Never Attained . I’ve only scratched the surface of what is ,what isn’t ,and what will so you can call me BE.” HEY Everybody, I’m bee “The Be” I’m what it is and what it’s going to be all at the same time. I’m a poet, writer, motivational speaker and teacher. I take all very seriously. I’m at a point in my life of no regrets and pushing towards greatness everyday. It feels like parts of me have been reborn. I’m in a state of reconstruction so I speak. I’m walking this life path as ONE! Living, Laughing, and Loving all the way.
