What I'M Leaving In 2011

"What I'm Leaving in 2011"

I cannot speak for everyone but I can speak for me,
2011bruised me in many ways,but it didn't break me, You see.
I'm leaving so many things in 2011that this poem cannot even suffice,
2012 will be my year of triumph, no need to think twice.
I'm leaving every financial burden that ever came my way,
Its now my past, its history, it won't make it to my present day.
In 2011 I'm leaving that "I'ma do it later attitude", Yea I'm talking about procrastination,
In 2012 Procrastination will not cost me my destination.
I'm leaving lustful desires that flowed through my flesh,
Now I'm concentrating on feeding my spirit because feeding both spirit and flesh won't mesh.
In 2011 I'm leaving "my timezone" and entering into "GOD's timezone",
I've learned this year doing things on my own time never worked, I should of known.
I'm leaving the negativity that surrounded me and tried to make me stop dreaming,
This year I see my poetry going further, my name in lights, gleaming.
In 2011 I'm leaving acts that were not pleasing to my fathers ears and eyes,
No longer will I allow myself to be pulled into this world with an ungodly disguise.
I'm stepping out of 2011 happier, smiling and knowing GOD is on my side,
He is there to protect me and to be my guide.
The list can go on further but you all see where I'm going,
Anything that isn't of GOD can now start blowing.
Blowing away from me and this new year,
I'm focusing on GOD and his will where everything is clear.
So bye-bye Lady Brii, the one who struggled through her mess,
Hello Lady Brii, GOD's child, no longer worried but Ms. Lyrically Blessed!!!
