It’s been the same

Scared of change

Im a creative creature

I thrive off of creating worlds

I didn’t share, caring what you thought

It’s been simmering

Percolating under the surface

Doing myself a disservice

Been Dormant; long enough

Fear as my crutch

I’m gonna, I wanna share my art

My heart is in a different place

No this won’t erase the past

All I ask is for patience, time

I’m trying to figure it all out

Scream and shout let it all out

My voice, my soul , no control

Getting uncomfortable

Just you wait and see

The fire I have in me……..

I enjoy eating

Fast foods, Snackfoods, good foods, bad foods

It’s my armor

Invisible, seen, antisocial, mean

I choose this

Hard to quit, Easy to get, goes down smooth

It’s how I cope

Sexuality, obesity, debt, stuck

I pray about it

Love, money, purpose, relationships

It gets better, doesn’t it? Hope.

The season is here

The big awards are given out

Music to film, around this time

Lights never dim

I’ve always wanted to be part of the culture

Entertaining the masses

Some days I feel like putting in the work

Some days I want to wallow in the hurt

Of self doubt and what if’s

The universe is showing me

That I have lessons to learn and to teach

Preach if you will, through lyrics or through

Song, that’s how most folks get it on

I’m afraid to share you see, message

May not be received, told to go back in

Fighting against that, lessons resumed

Eager to learn again, no expectations

Will you hear my song? 💘
