Break Out!

Finally, broke out that hen pen, ready to win!

They said I was a joke, while I was choking-

I retreated, after giving myself the Heimlich_

Childhood trauma played into drama-

I did some fuck shit then I met Karma_

Always been an old soul, Heart made of rose gold-

Some crazy lady tried me, She saw it turn cold-

Some fuck boy tried it, He saw it grow bold -

Now, I ride Solo, I clear my head

Stay away from bozos-

Rock Bottom

@rock-bottom, I was @ rocks bottom,

Rocks were at the bottom-

That’s where the treasures were found-

silver, gold, stones, gems & armor_

The captain said,

'Lets rack-em, Let’s go round them'-

So, they salvage everything around them, that looked astounded-

At rock bottom, some rocks looked dull & slightly rounded-

So, they kicked them over and didn’t see anything amazing or profounded_

Welp, after that day-

Those rocks often sang out, praised & shouted-

How Yah found them!

Once, Yah cracked them open, they all had crystals inside-them and

the covenant of protection was all around them!_

Accountable x line

Was made at me for what I accepted-

It seemed, I was raised to be codependent,

It was on fake records-

Something on the inside of me felt heavily rejected-

Although, I always felt heavenly protected-

Never let up on me,

Taught me every chance, I remember the lessons-

Even when I was stressed,

That small voice never kept me guessing-

When I get in a quiet spot the lesson are so majestic_

I failed a few lessons-

Imma have to retake-

The blessings are in the lesson-

The lessons were a blessing-

Even when you stressing -

Even when you pressed-

Just get a quiet spot & there will be no more guessing!_

@Double Minded Sistah

I use to be one double-minded sistah-

I hung around with good friends and pretenders-

I didn't realize I was gifted-

That's why they felt I was trippin_

Moreover, that was just a tactic,

When many times I was under attack-

I know He is not through with me yet_

I remember hearing a small firm voice_

'you need to listen'-

I wanted to give my full attention-

But I'm no ugly chick, Kept getting distracted by men-

Which, before you know it, I failed a mission-

Felt like the victim-

That turned me numb-

I had to stop playing dumb_

The beginning of doubt is the end of faith-

How did I lose my faith-

when I just wanted to fade away-

Was tired of all the hate-

Grew tired of the world's ways-

I just wanted to enter those gates-

I had to stop rejecting myself and all the possibilities-

Before the foundations of the world, My Creator formed me_

In 2016 I almost died

My spirit was lifted

Took me 3 years to comprehend it
