Bare & Bold-a poem
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
