Grifting, Betrayal Vibes Alive

Grifting, Betrayal Vibes Alive

They broke me in pieces,

Thought I'd stay scattered  on the pavement 

But I ascended  like a scandal they couldn't 

Repose, every word a renewal. 

I stitched my scars with tempo, made my

Heart beat,

A drum line,  turned their lies into study,

Turned my pain into a spine.

I trudge heavier now-not with hurt, but with

Savvy, Every pace a comeback,  Every breath a

Showing. 

They tested to dim my fire, but I'm born with

Sureness. 

But from Betrayal, activated by vision,  

Unshaking, loosened up- A self- made revision.
