Seasoned

Seasoned
Reasoned
Figured it out
Made you pout
Understood the assignment
Took the time in
Did my homework 
Did it all, did not shirk
Dotted every i and crossed every t
Looking for second best, can’t be me

Flavoured with salt
Of the earth
More than it’s worth
I pump myself up because they’ll tear me down
Try to eat me, defeat me,
So they can’t see
The shine on my diamond, that my mind is

I’m not here to boast
But to show you
That you are the most
One of the chosen few
Be who you are 
Up in the sky at night
A shining star
A  guiding light
So for that I congratulate
As the night comes to an end
Let this thought formulate
That you are spicy, highly seasoned.
