A bad dream use to make me scream,

I was naive and unaware of what the message would really mean.

Constantly running from the mental scene,

In fear of the unknown when every night I had already seen.

What was sure to come,

Beloved continued to show me, that I was truly a chosen one.

So why on Earth would I continue to run?

I’m not even sure myself but that phase of my life is done.

Never the culprit but I attend,

Conflict and confrontation, has never moved me within.

Accountable and aware, through it all I held a grin,

Because I did what I did and I’m aware of all of my sin.

So speaking loudly behind my back,

When confronted, statements they retract,

When they only speak opinions, never concrete facts,

So before I diss out the energy,

I’ve learned when and where to retract.

Illusions all now fade,

Thanking Beloved for movement forward,

No longer jammed in delays,

For better days I continue to pray,

You only know what you’re shown,

& That’s all I gotta say.
