Truthfully,
I always knew what it would take,
I just hadn’t been ready to give
the effort needed,
And that lack of will,
Is what kept me from going forward,
It’s what kept me from going up,
And beyond the circles Ive kept going in,
There’s levels for a reason,
As a man, I can admit when I’m wrong,
I can acknowledge the facts,
And face them head on,
I’ve been the biggest problem,
Time always reveals the truth,
But we have to be willing to accept what
the light reveals,
And my pride has kept it hidden,
My ego has kept it disguised,
Making me think that I’ve known what’s best,
Has only shown me that I don’t,
It’s only kept me in the dark,
I had to rethink my plan
I needed to restructure my whole mind,
I had to elevate,
I needed to grow, but from the right place,
From my heart,
Which was the biggest difference,
It in truth led me to my relationship with God,
It guided me to my purpose,
Heaven on earth, and I didn’t have to die,
I just had to live,
For something I love,
My enemies, my friends, my family,
My purpose, and my relationship
with The Most High!!

The more I paid attention,
The easier it became to see,
I noticed how all the pieces where set up,
Everything was meant to make me
turn my back on me,
To make me give up on what I believe,
Having awareness of the set up
was one thing,
But what would I do with information,
That’s what counted,
So I had to make it count,
I had to put my efforts in all the right places,
There wasn’t anything I couldn’t do,
I knew that,
Nothing but time was needed to prove that,
Not to them, or anybody else,
Just for me,
Having the comfort of being,
Exactly where I planned to be,
I seen it within my mind then I molded it,
Created everything I dreamed,
Having to blink twice to believe it myself,
But knowing it’s real,
Because of my patience,
My determination, and relentless effort,
No matter where I’ve been,
My smile’s been worth something,
My words have meant something,
I’ve always been a vessel,
Turning metal to gold,
Or thought into reality,
Was only hindered by me believing there
was something in the way,
It was only me,
It had always been,
I was always the only thing in the way,
But again, now that I knew,
What would I do,
And the answer was,
What I was doing,
I was on my way!

I could feel my inner voice speaking,
Telling me to stop caring,
Not about life,
Not about love, or my purpose,
But about the distractions,
All the things that left,
All the things that want to leave,
All the things weren’t meant for me,
Let them go,
Let them be,
Prisons are established by our own minds,
Within our own thoughts,
We lock the gate and throw away the key,
But in truth,
The key was never needed to free you or me,
Only the growth was needed,
Only the understanding of why we’re bleeding,
Makes the healing worth having,
It’s what makes the statement,
That we’re healed,
Not bothered,
And upon a level of understanding that states,
Rejection is what made this confidence,
Unbreakable,
Lesson learned!

-

I place small situations in front of you,
So I can see for myself,
If I can trust you in big ones!

-

My words are meant to be felt,
Not just heard!

-

I feel great,
Life, has really opened up,
My path that begin so rough,
Has become so beautiful,
So I’ve been living,
Cherishing all the moments,
Embracing them,
And enjoying them while within them,
Not writing as much,
Because it’s hard to write while I’m within
the joy of the moment,
I have in the past,
But this is different,
This, is what I worked so hard to reach,
Spiritually, I’m elevated,
Yet and still I’m within the know of knowing
I know nothing,
Forever I seek more knowledge,
Forever my heart is open to learn,
So that my mind can forever grow,
I’m still walking within my purpose,
Every morning,
I’ve written so much,
That now, I’m able to just focus on developing
my skills in other places,
While enjoying living,
And loving the life i live,
My purpose continues to lead the way,
As I continue to follow,
Listening to God, Feeling their presence,
Enjoying it all,
To know God, Is one thing,
But to have a relationship with God,
Takes things to whole new place,
One that continues to rise,
Not into the skies,
But into your heart,
Creating a whole new perspective,
That takes a wholehearted effort to take in,
To understand, and share with world!

-

I didn’t give up,
I just let you go,
So you could have what you
truly wanted,
And I could be free
of the worry of wondering!!

When you use to ask me to do something,
I use to complain about it,
As a child,
As a young man,
And even as an adult,
I’ve complained,
But then I noticed something,
Something that would change
everything forever,
Seeing others that have lost
their mothers,
Seeing their hurt,
Seeing their struggles,
Made me realize,
Having you at all is a gift,
It’s a pleasure to do whatever
you ask me to do,
Simply because you’re here,
It’s that simple,
That it’s simply overlooked,
The value of someone’s presence
shouldn’t increase once they’re gone,
We’re the most valuable in the times
when we’re together,
So you won’t hear me complain,
But even if I do,
Know that it’s out of love,
Because I’m grateful to have you,
There’s no one like you to me,
There never will be,
Because there never can be,
We only get one mother,
I’m cherishing mine,
Treating her just as special as she is,
Because she my 1 and only,
I love you momma!!

Stop giving me excuses,
And just try it first,
If what you build doesn’t stand tall
within tough times,
It’s because the foundation wasn’t
designed to hold the pressures
that come with you’re struggles,
Rebuild, but pay attention,
What did you learn,
That alone should make you look
at things differently,
Growth means you have a new perspective,
Elevated from understanding,
To over standing,
All because of the experience gained
from fighting through the failures,
Success is self served like gas,
So pump yourself up,
Not with gas, but truth,
Truth that you’ve earned,
They can’t deny you of it,
Because you earned it,
From yourself,
By proving it to yourself,
You made yourself a believer,
That’s how success works!

-

You didn’t fall into my arms,
You met me upon your journey,
While I was traveling my own,
There’s nothing like you,
Nothing like finding someone going
the same way,
Feeling you in ways that you can’t explain,
Leading and following,
Making it all feel the same,
A compromise hasn’t even been needed,
Letting go of things has felt easy,
Because holding on to you has come
natural,
Allowing all things that would hinder us,
To fall away,
Effortlessly,
Simply because I’m where I want to be,
And you feel the same way,
Like walking feet,
You’re the right and I’m the left,
Together, we move,
But alone we step,
For the same reason,
With the same intent,
To create the best life for each other,
With each other,
Gratefully!!!
