PROMPTLY WRITTEN |GRATITUDE JOURNAL
Rebellious Soul
Gratitude Whole
It was easier when people molded me
Into whatever shape of plastic
I’m the woman you were hoping I would never beA rebellious soul
Added to an inflated ego
I felt whole
At least I thought soFunny how I took so much granted
Ruined everything I was ever handed
Got reprimandedCycle starts over again
Become the whore of South Beach menUp all night doing blow
An ungrateful bitch
A new kind of lowHeroin blues
That’s a lose loseGot sober
Learned to chooseHold the f*ck up
This is about gratitudeI wouldn’t be alive today
If I didn’t look back at myself that waySelf deprecating
Motor skills delaying
Aggravating
I’ve kept you waiting
Gravitating
Towards gratitude in the making
Others find it complicatingFirst I had to get clean
Dope sick was a rotten
Kind of meanThe pink cloud lifts
Sky was made of Amethysts
Yes that is a Hole reference MarcusI fought this battle
Rowing with no paddleSwimming against the current
Almost lost myself along the way again
A simple deterrent
