Here’s to a fresh start.

Looking up at the stars.

I see a future and happiness.

The past is the past and I thank you god for showing me mercy .

I thank myself for showing myself mercy.

I need to know that I am worthy and I am awesome.

Fuck the doubt, that shit’s just wrong son.

I’m a good looking man.

I’m intelligent, I am.

I live my life the best way that I can.

I have a singing voice that gets panties wet.

Wanna challenge that? Aight BET!

I also got moves that make the ladies swoon.

I’ll probably be off the market soon.

Look at me. Look at the stars.

A world full of possibilities from right where you are.

God grounded me and it’s honestly been the best thing for me.

It’s given me time to figure out who I wanna be.

I really do love her and I know she loves me too.

And I really do hope we can be together soon.

But I’ve gotta heal and pursue my future too.

No room for doubt anymore.

No room for regret anymore.

No room for turning back.

No room for any of those negative voices.

now’s the time to make choices.

You can do this. You know you can.

Look at how resilient you are. You’re the man.

You had direct exposure to Covid and you are here to talk about it.

You know that nothing is gonna stop your shit.

You know what you want.

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

The future is yours.

Tomorrow is the day you’re set free.

The past is in the past. Let it be!

That relationship is in the past!

It was destined not to last.

The only one to walk is the future path.

Live for today, you’re not promised tomorrow.

But make sure all of your tomorrow’s aren’t filled with sorrow.

The future is yours.

No room for doubt anymore.

I’ve got a lot to do.

But that’s all okay dude.

I’ll be okay.

I’ll live to see brighter days.

I’ll get to where I wanna be.

I will.

No room for regret anymore.

You’ve got this Skip. You’ve got this Wonderbread.

Lift up.

Don’t let anybody say you ain’t good enough.

Anybody who does? Who cares? they can get fucked.

The only way to move is forward.

Have some goals you can look towards.

Live your life for you

And anything can come true.

No room for turning back.

I sit here and look forward to a future.

I can tell that I really am a trooper.

I know I’ve done some bad. But it’s mostly good.

I know I’ll be fine, wherever I’m put.

I’m strong and always will be.

I will be fine. No, really!

I have a future to look forward to.

No room for any of those negative voices.

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

Now’s the time to make choices.

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

Pursue it!

I have been writing poetry and song lyrics for years. I wish to pursue a career in music. However, with all of my one off poems written, I felt the need to share those as well.
