Note To Self

I used to journal, loved to write

Then stored it on a shelf

But now the time to write is right

I’ve learned things of myself

I seemed to be depressed too much

And often filled with gloom

Had thoughts of suicide and such

While locked up in my room

I started looking deep within

My outlook had to change

To change the way I’d always been

I found the process strange

Had even joined a dating site

I thought I needed love

That spark to make my heart ignite

And fits me like a glove

I hoped to find someone sublime

With luck, before I die

Was sick of spending all my time

With me, myself, and I

I thought of giving God this chore

But then I thought it through

Be careful what you ask Him for

See, God likes laughing too

I dropped the date site culture life

It wasn’t quite my scene

That’s not the place to find a wife

It’s somewhere in between

I’m happy, fun, delirious

Things surly could be worse

I don’t take things so serious

“Offended” is a curse

I need no one to hold my hand

I CAN be on my own

What I need y’all to understand

For now I’m good alone

My mirror shows a better face

I like now who I see

Today I’m in a better place

I’m loving me some me
