The road of pain
The problem is the solution.
The solution of your illusions.
Illusions of being on the right
Side of morality and intention.
Judging me while your life was
Never cleared by a jury of your peers.
Condemning my house because
It is different from your home.
Even though the floor boards
In yours can barely support the
Weight of your over inflated reflection.
Whispering just out of the range of
My superior trained ears that devour
More information than most because
They take priority over my tongue. A
Little trick i picked up from the scholars
Of life that raised me to be the rock in
The path of your second nature of deception.
I reserve my anger for foes deserving of my wrath
So sleep well knowing i deemed u unworthy of that
Much attention. I have risen far enough and sharpened
My mental weaponry so sharp that turning around to
Address your weak attempts at pulling me backwards would
Rob me of one step ahead towards becoming the complete
Man i was destined to be. Face your own demons. Dont try
To distract them by pointing out other people that "did u.wrong". We only receive what we willingly accept from the
People we allow close enough to hurt us. The only one to blame for our position in life is the person we are when all is quiet and we are alone. The truth is we are where we are in life because we didnt do the work to be where we "belong". Nothing is owed...everything is EARNED. Nothing is easy..its hard work being self responsible and honest to yourself. Its just the price we have to pay in order to experience true change and progress. They dont make a pill for that and the only price tag attached to that is your own blood, sweat, tears, and the honest critique of your own shortcomings. No path to being complete is painless. Learn from it. U decide who u are every morning when u are lucky enough to open your eyes.
