Feeding Me

Back to Reality

Feeding Me

I starve myself because I feed myself through my own thoughts

Not a good way to live life

Not how joy stay

But that’s was my old ways

Not trying to be consumed by my thoughts

Not in my head where dreams are dead

And where there is no perception of time

So, I choose to stay in the present

Actually work towards my goals

Not a fake fantasy in my mind

Got to make my life feel like it’s mine

So no more dreams about being with a man of my dreams

Life needs more of my focus then it seems

So I will be out of my mind

Into a world that is somewhat unknown to me

Where my attention is on real things

What a joyous life this new life will be

    This is such a raw and empowering piece! Love how it transitions from being trapped in thought to embracing action and reality. That closing note of joy and hope? Chef's kiss!💕
