I love ME
how can i keep saying that i'm over it and you but yet i continue to dwell on the past
i'm doing nothing but damaging my mental by not moving forward
i've been in an awesomely great mood since Friday night
a lot of it has to do with watching For Colored Girls
THERE IS A WAY OUT
i made that way out for myself when i finally did something i had been afraid to do for months
i know now that there is no turning back
this is an affirmation to myself.. everything is going to be okay... everything has been okay.. accept it, claim it, live it
my good days have been outweighing my bad and darling, I WILL NOT COMPLAIN
throw what you want my way and I WILL OVERCOME
say what you want to say about me and I WILL BRUSH IT OFF
see it takes more than a broken heart to keep me from SMILING
YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY MY JOY, i won't allow you
it's as if i had pity on myself, only speaking of what i want to do and be but never actually doing and becoming it.
i've gone on everyday for the past 3 months not knowing how much of a good thing i did
i don't have any regrets
i just know that i still have myself.. i stayed true to the character that i have grown up to be
yes the tears fall from my eyes
and i wipe each one away
who says soldiers don't cry?
because honey, i cry every time i'm alone and don't understand things
we all have our PUBLIC, PERSONAL, and PRIVATE selves
the public is the self you portray when you're outdoors (work, school..), the way you dress, speak
your personal self is the person you show when around close friends and family
and lastly, the private self is the person you are when you are alone, the person that you may be truly at war with
i have come to learn that my public and personal are the same person
it's time to get my private self on board
i realized that my private self was alone and in tears... my private self was needing to be rescued
in the midst of my emotional breakdowns i'm still living, and that is why I ROCK
two things i carry, POISE AND PURPOSE

um.. don't know where to begin.
images that will never erase
images that always replay
images that won't leave because we live in them and find it hard to let go
images that stay the same because we wish to live in sorrow and have pity on ourselves
images
images once mistaken as the only reality, there's no way out
there is a way out
look past the images of the dark and look to the images of light and the future
images that will never erase
images that always replay
images that won't leave because we live in them and find it hard to let go
images that stay the same because we wish to live in sorrow and have pity on ourselves
images
images once mistaken as the only reality, there's no way out
there is a way out
look past the images of the dark and look to the images of light and the future
