“My Demons gather watch as they all surround
I tried to fight them but they just hold me down
I got this fear that you are dragging me down
I cannot break it see the signs around round
…
Knew I would fight, it never is enough
…
I always try, hope one day it will be enough”
Weakness.
I am nothing but weakness.
I am not naturally strong, fast or flexible.
I’m not the smartest person in the world.
I get emotional over the stupid things.
I eat the wrong foods. I don’t sleep enough.
I procrastinate and I waste time.
I care too much about the meaningless things,
and not about the important things.
My ego is too big, my mind is too small.
Often trapped inside itself.
A person’s strength is often their biggest weakness.
But their weaknesses can become their strengths.
I am weak. In all those ways, I am weak.
BUT I don’t accept that.
I don’t accept I am what I am and that is what I am doomed to be. No. I do not accept that.
I’m fighting. I’m always fighting.
I’m struggling, I’m scraping and kicking and clawing at those weaknesses, to change them. To stop them.
Some days, I win. Some days I don’t.
But each and everyday, I get back up and I move forward, with my fists clenched.
Towards the battle, towards the struggle.
And I fight with everything I have to overcome those weaknesses.
And those shortfalls. And those flaws.
As I strive to be a little bit better today, than I was yesterday.

Destiny is a funny thing. You never know how things are going to work out, but if you keep an open mind and an open heart, I promise you will find your own destiny someday.

Once upon a time, I became yours, and you became mine. And we'll stay together through the tears and the laughter because that's what they call happily-ever-after.

“I've seen a lot of people fail from a lack of faith
But I just knew my best teacher was my last mistake
My momma said to have a strong heart it has to break
And if it does just keep it pushing like you bagging weight”
…
“Wish I had some glasses that could help me see right past the fake
When I can't differentiate the good and bad I gravitate
Made this on a lonely night when I was half awake
Thinking bout how life is like a class I'll never graduate
Showing off the traumas that I swallowed like a rattlesnake
Cuz all my favorite songs are when pain and passion collaborate”
…
“And the difference between me and you is imma get my respect
Even if it takes some reloading like I was hitting refresh
And if you against us we consider you an imminent threat”
