NOTE TO SELF

POEM BY. CALVIN C BUTLER

By Love's Greatest Answer! (Calvin. C. Butler)Published 6 years ago 1 min read

What's the point of trying if you've already excepted failure. Don't be discouraged, and only go with the flow like a sailor.But instead lets rise up like Maya Angelou, and be a star like Chuck Taylor's.

Pain can constrict your peace of mind. When nothing's fine, it seem's like nothing shines. It seem's like money signs, for them, is the only love you find, it's grim.

Who can I trust, when lies are their friends. So my friend don't say to much. But me, I stand strong even when my heart want's to buss. Shady friend's make it hard to open up.

I am hoping the heaven's open up, And pour rain on me. I am so hot that my tear's steam on me. I'am about to fall, but still lean on me.

I am still a shoulder you can cry on. somebody take me to Zion. I fry on, I need air conditioning. Their apparently not listening, so respect from me is limited.

I am trying to make things clear to you, because the enemy wants to bring fear to you. So let me come with truth and love. I'm hoping to bring it near to you.

So don't push me away, i'm coming with the truth all the way. There's not much more to say beside's "Hey" stay strong keep your head up, and keep your faith. (Note to self you are enough, and so great.)
