What about me says Beat around the bush?

If you don’t have anything of value to say you might as well keep it to yourself

Save your words for those who have the time

I may have patience but I’ll be the first to cut to the chase

no speedways

5 am drifting off my lane

hours of driving and yet feeling like i’m still where i started

the bottom teaches you how to fly

how to build wings out of fear

out of heartbreak

out of empty promises

out of no sleep, and yet I still eat

This ain’t for the weak and i’ve been building muscle out of the weights life has thrown at me

still balanced

still blessed

still waking up and thanking my saviour for his hand is extended further than my vision

reason I walk by faith so he can correct my steps

touching every moment just to leave me gifts

in the moment-to-moment

I still see myself as a phoenix

I rise despite it all
