Consumed
We as a world are so consumed with the thoughts of the world that we forget what matters most.
Vanity, money, cars, clothes, relationships, our house, the job,
When we die we don’t even get to take our clothes.
I refuse to stress over mess.
I REFUSE TO STRESS OVER MESS!
My father always told me, worry only about the things you can change because the past is already set in stone.
I refuse to stress over nonsense that will only cause me to lose my peace of mind.
But what mind does an insane person have to lose,
I believe that like Alice I was lost in Wonderland ages ago but never knew because it never showed.
I refuse to stress over individuals in my life, who I’ve once considered a friend but no longer is, and out of the purple sky they want to be in my life again.
I break bread with the ones who starved with me.
I won’t have it any other way nor should I.
I refuse to let petty drama afflict my happiness.
The he say she say bs.
No I will not stress.
I refuse to continue to lose pieces of my mind because time doesn’t work well with my schedule.
I now understand that everything just plays out,
Everything simply works out in the end.
Like if the landlord comes around and you don’t have the money to pay your rent.
Tell them you don’t have it right now but believe in god that you will.
When you’re hungry and you only have bread and butter in your fridge.
Please put the butter on that bread, shit toast it up, eat it and be grateful.
Then confess with your mouth that this time next week you will have steak to eat.
Because whatever we shall confess with our mouth so shall it be.
I refuse to lose.
I refuse to stress.
Determined to be the best at whatever it is I’m doing.
I refuse to lose sight of what I’m actually doing.
I must and I will win.
This is probably the realest thing I’ve wrote in a while.
I hope you guys like it.
