True Cleaning

What you feed will surely grow
Take it from someone who truly knows

Too bad you can’t exfoliate your insides with some microdermabrasion
That kills all your pride
Stripping away the degenerate mindset that so often tries to hide
Too bad you can’t take foaming cleanser and remove the impurities from your soul
So many are worried about the external but that will never make you whole
There is no baking soda or deep pore treatment that can wash away your sins
Nothing of this world can detox you from the poison that dwells within
There are no feminine cleaning wipes that can wash away the filth of your former days
Only heavens rain can lead you out of that twisted cycle, and maze

What you feed will surely grow
Take it from someone who truly knows

This is not a theory or a planned-out petition
It’s a willing act of daily submission
We all surrender to something
Why not let it be truth
There are no quick results, life is not a photo booth

What you feed will surly grow
Take it from someone who truly knows

For every word plants a seed
And every seed yields a crop
And if you want to end up at the top
There are some things that you must stop!
your type of fertilizer matters when its your garden that needs nutrition
All those weeds eventually will kill off all of your ambition
Everything needs care
Or eventually won’t be there
Everything needs healing or the thief will keep on stealing
Everything needs water
To keep life in its proper order
And everything needs you
To fight
for things to be brand new.
