Growing and Passing Through

Life... It goes on but a piece of me never quite moves on. So if I exhibit immaturity It's bc I'm still rolling on Advice from the young (r.i.p.) That you gave to me To motivate me to be strong And even though I've grown .....into my own wisdom Sometimes I revert back To your greenisms (youthful philosophy) So no ones to say 'Cause only God knows Who we'd each be today .....If you weren't on that road. I would be different... That's not a thought .....I too often face But change, it's like A ripple from the shore ......that shakes the whole lake God doesn't make mistakes we're exactly where we're meant to be But I still can't help but wonder If things would have went differently...... I'm just writing out My inner curiosities ......No need to judge me If I'm aloof and distant Defiant and resistant It's b/c I'm fighting and persistent I'm all in with both fist in Chasing dreams and running from demons Sometimes the boundaries are seamless Sometimes I land the blow Sometimes I feel the sting where life's swing is But I march on like King did Keep sight on what the dream is He said follow my heart To find happiness ....Even if it's not his Sometimes I feel like ....he's the only one who knows me He sees my greatness And beautifies the ugly He's seen it all And he still loves me.... so if I'm wiser Than what I should be I'm lifted on the shoulders .....of his maturity Brandi Simpson - 2012
