Note To Self
No longer am I running around creeping as my knowledge self and self-love deepens.
Doing my best not to be a slave to my flesh it's a part of me that lust weakens.
I'm clean and sober yet what am I using when I'm not using.
Craving attention and affection getting rid of selfishness and not abusing
Nothing or no one I will continue to watch my motives and keep all my attentions pure
Becoming a better version of myself for that alone there's no cure.
Just growing and glowing shining and grinding embracing my journey of healing.
Changing my ways totally no longer robbing cheating or stealing.
Real talk true story is by God's grace and mercy I'm still alive.
I was made in his image so on a daily basis I strive
Not for perfection but protection against who I used to be.
Good side bad side who stands before you is the real me.
Not ducking and hiding showing up and providing for me and mines no doubt.
Not just existing I'm living accepting what the real me is about.
God first me family and hard work everyone and everything else is a blessing.
No longer worried or stressing I think I'm learning my life lessons.
Because the thing is we never fail at times we just have to repeat
Life don't come with do-overs so for me it's that deep
Repeated drug cycles and jail cells kept me enslaved for years
Now I'm breaking every chain and overcoming my fears
I don't want to be a sad story I want to cry joyful tears
Earned my family and friends trust back and making amends as needed
Victory is mine's and I'll be damned if I get defeated
I sold myself short too many times
I'm claiming it I'm going to get what's mines
I don't compete or compare myself to no one I'm moving at my own pace
I'm staying in my own lane and I know my place
It's hard out here just like hustle and Flow
Showing much love and respect to all until it's my time to go.
