Survive or Thrive

Having a rough beginning

The Choice is Ours!!!

My heart is filled with rage

Trying to make it thru this age

Receiving Fear and not Love, I must find the courage to continue

Trying not to let my blood boil but the irritation was past due

Mental danger attempts to creep in

Without having guidance trial and error shall begin

One mistake after the next, failure seems like the only option

My higher self tells me not to make that adoption

Nor make an assumption

Go within to escape the destruction

From the ashes I shall rise

And it will catch you all by surprise

Nightly making sacrifices while others play

Passion and Joy will be my day

Leveling up in life is a must

The hard part is figuring out who to trust

Allowing anger to exit and calmness to enter

Knowing how to relax is an art

Intelligence is needed to start

Take responsibility of your natal chart

As some of us do when we fart

The gentle breeze kisses my soul as the sun does

Because of the Sun, there's no need for guns

So be like water my friends

Live life to the fullest until it Ends
