    About this ebook

    This is me, is much more than a book it’s my life poured onto the pages in stanza form. This is the story of my life, the pain, the hurt, the joy and the accomplishments, My TRUTH. The book is split into three sections covering relationships, my family, my spirituality and the discovery of myself. My hope is that when you read this book that you not get lost in the trance of the beautiful words but you it motivates you to be yourself and live your TRUTH whatever that might be. I hope you enjoy

    Destiny Cammack

    Destiny Cammack created and cultured in the City of Richmond. She was a toddler when she realized that all she wanted to do with her life is to help people, to heal them. She was fourteen when she received the ÂYouth Visionary Award seed money to fund Youth Helping Youth which was her first ever endeavor into helping people. From there, she volunteered as HIV/AIDS peer educator and become the first youth to sit on the Board of the Greater Richmond Chapter of the American Red Cross . After graduating from Henrico High School in 2003 , she pursued her dreams at Virginia Commonwealth University where she got an degree in Biology where she was on the fast track to medical school but then decided that she was better suited for social work, where she is now attending Liberty University to pursuing her dream of becoming a therapist.Destiny never believed that her writing would be anything more than self therapy until she allowed her coworker to read some of her poems and he was instantly inspired, he told her " If you don't publish them, I will. These words could save lives" and that is how she went from turning her journal of poems into a book.

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Dedication:

      This book is dedicated to every person that has ever been lost, confused or feel like they are on the brink of giving up. This is me... is for you to let you know that you are enough and you are not alone.

      "Mirror, Mirror is all about me and my struggle to learn to the love the person looking back at me in the mirror, insecurity plagued my childhood and even as I grew older it took a lot for me to learn who I am, so come into my journey and know that if you are suffering from insecurity, you are not alone and you too can overcome it "

      Black Goddess

      Is that all that I am to you,

      someone to love you when need loving,

      someone to screw you when you need to be screwed,

      Am I your fall back baby in case she doesn’t work out?

      Or am your house call mama cause I am always in the house,

      I don’t know what you think I am,

      but that is all about to change,

      You’re gonna wish you treated me like a lady,

      You’re going to have to feel my venomous sting,

      I am black Nubian goddess,

      And I know this is true,

      You don’t even recognize that I was the best thing that ever happened to you,

      As you go about your life, you’ll feel like a fool,

      But I gave you all I had to offer,

      You snooze, you lose,

      Bold, Black and Beautiful

      Does my being black upset you,

      Am I too boastful and proud?

      Because through all of history’s outrage,

      I still stand out in the crowd,

      does my boldness make you wonder?

      What secrets I have to share,

      Because I stand up for what I believe in,

      Without any fear,

      Let me guess it’s my beauty that’s got you smitten,

      They don’t make em’ like me where you come from,

      You’re engrossed in my beautiful smile,

      But fearful of my venomous tongue,

      I’m bold, black and beautiful,

      I bet you thought that was a thing of the past,

      I’m bold, black and beautiful,

      Full of grace, wisdom and class,

      I’m bold black and beautiful,

      And I know this to be true,

      So to all my sisters out there,

      I want you to smile and stand proud,

      Look in the mirror and you’ll see that you are

      Bold, black and beautiful too

      Day of Reckoning

      I knew this day would come, Never knew it would hurt this bad,

      I guess I am tired of living in the shadows I need my own little place to stand,

      I knew this day would come, I am just tired of playing the fool, tired of putting myself in last place, I want to be treated like a person, not a tool,

      I knew this day would come, I just
