'yesterday'

Y ou 
E ntered my life
S owing seeds of freedom
T earing down all my walls
E nticing me to become me - 
R eal in a sense
D rawing me out 
A ssisting me to embrace all that is me without 
Y earning to be the person the world think I should be

Now you got me wondering why you chose the word 'yesterday' Missy, but yup something to mull over and yes nice to know that even if in the past, there are people who can affect us in some positive manner. Missed you on Drake's show, haha gave you a special mention, hoping you'd call in! Still raining non stop here, so many flooded areas now :( pls pray for them, thanks! Mwahugs!

You said it all, everything about how a wonderful person guides us to see who we want to be and not what the world thinks we should be! Your acrostic is beautiful, full of great intrigue and insight! What a brilliant piece, Great Work!!
