Honest Confessions

With knees deep in ice.
I keep deep in cold.
I was born lucky, am nice.
With dope I uphold.

You can't fool me twice,
But if you do, I play it cool.
With time you pay the price.
I can never call you a fool.

I was born into patience.
All I know is love.
I live each day with a difference.
Am still trying to evolve.

I am hard to love, I know.
Am equally hard to let go.
But I ain't too dumb to know.
That you reap what you sow as you go.

I put family first
For they are my everything.
I have issues with trust.
I hate breaking.

Thanks Harry, you share a name with my best childhood friend. Harry and I were inseparable back then and growing up in the village was really fun around him. Have a blessed Harry
