Then & Now

Who i was then is not who i am today. Since birth we are all faced with the task of which choices we choose to make. At the same time faced with both faced with the question on what path to take. From our trials to tribulations & changing our struggles into our stepping stones, we learn & gather various important details on how to navigate our vigorous way through this journey called life. Mistakes may come we all make them. BUT if things were meant to happen can we call them a mistake? If so how many will it take to uncover the truth that we all try so hard to hide underneath & between all our mixed up , foul & hurtful lies. Being different is fine by me because i know there's more to me then anyone's eyes can see. Beauty is more then just skin deep, it runs within my veins and thrives within my thick and lushes meat. Brilliance has many, many faces,different shapes,places,even takes interest in different races. LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR YOU BECAUSE IT IS TOO SHORT. TO BE DEPRESSED...MISERABLE...JUST TO FEEL TRAPPED& ALONE...TRYING TO IMPRESS SOMEONE ELSE AS THEY SIT UPON THEIR THROWN AS IF THEIR FLAWS CANT BE SEEN. WHICH CAUSES THEM TO BE SO BITTER AND MEAN. JUST DO YOUR PART TO BE SET FREE & THEN YOU'LL SEE THAT GIRL BACK THEN IS NO LONGER ME!
