People think they know you, but they have no idea. People think they've put their finger on you but then you show them something new, proving that they haven't. People think because they see a glimpse of the picture, that they know the whole story.
I'm here to tell you my story is still being written.
Half of you couldn't walk a mile in my shoes, don't know where I've come from, or where I'm going.
You don't know my struggle, you don't know my weaknesses, you don't know my strengths, you don't know what I've overcome.
The thing is: what should've killed me didn't. Every trial & tribulation has made me stronger & wiser. It may look bad to you because you're not strong enough to endure & still carry your cross with a smile.
I am not ashamed of where I've been, because that doesn't define me.
I am not afraid of what others may think of me.
I am not living a lie.
Nay say, & spectators don't define me.
I share my day to day to help the one who's ready to end the wait.
But I am not living in fear.
How many of you can be open and honest with the world?
How many of you know that the world doesn't even matter?
How many of you know that it's only a matter of time before you are the next target?
And those that you sit back with are waiting for your next move.
Then become your spectators and imitators.
Don't allow and accept the limitations, keep high expectations
I'm here to tell you that my God always shows up & always provides & what he has for me is definitely for me. What he has for you is definitely for you.
My fruit is my fruit, your fruit is your fruit.
My walk is my walk, and your walk is your walk.
However; What didn't break me, might break you. Half of you couldn't walk a mile in my shoes.
