I'm remembering four years of living
Holding tight to these balloons
Then I'm thinking of twenty one
Dodging the ties that would prevent a future
I'm remembering
How I have reminded folks
I am not just a womb
I don't have to be one part of together
A liberated mind had me walking like Pepsi
One red chuck, one blue chuck
I remember my lessons
I forget my pains
You can't move with these
This one might be a story
This one might be boring
This one might have been heard before
This one is yours
For the times when tears become your swimming pool
Swim
Reach the pool side
Get to the end of the river
Remember to breathe
Your value will be tested
Your mind will become a VCR
Yeah the story gets that old
Repeated, rewound, played, stopped,
Fast forward
Go to the parts that motivate you most
Accomplish something there
But come right back to the ugly and complete your task
Give it your best
The beautiful easy parts
And the draining extended parts
They drain you of everything you have
Look for the finish lines along the way
Congratulate yourself, celebrate
Take yourself to the movies
Get lost in a bookstore
Walk around the mall without reason
Try on all the shoes you like in your size
And walk right out
Go to the library
Take a pile of books
Read a few pages from each
Use the time in putting each one back in its place to breathe
Think on nothing and think on everything
How did you feel
How do you feel
This is how a quarter of a century feels
Fruit flows out of my words
To give you the food you need
My leaves are the parts thought to be least useful
But all leaves within my garden
Bring healing
They are the parts of my story
You can have as your own
My fruit however we've got to share that
Get a notepad
Purchase some ears
Open heart surgery
So your heart can take this in
Allow yourself to go deeper to find you
Get lost in that space
Ask questions in that space
That is where you are supposed to grow from
If I have just 4 minutes to tell you to keep on going
I'd start with forgive yourself
Listen to yourself
Then
What do you want to eat
Feed your soul
Feed your mind
Feed your eyes
Feed your body
Who lives on the inside of you
Are you its reflection
Or does the reflection
Act as a constant reminder
That you're getting to better
These next four minutes should lead to another
Stepwise in thoughts
We'll get you to your healing
We'll open paths for growth
You'll begin to see your best days
Years will lay ahead of you unhindered
You will be sure of the road ahead
You will hold hands with an immutable love
Jump off the precipice of your doubts
And land in the pillows of your
Daring to dream
Your boldness will threaten
The inferior parts of you
Confidence will blossom
You will hold your own
You can hold your own
Of course you are living
Of course you are a woman
Of course you have a mind
It's a level playing field for battles
But you know you'll win every single one
Right?
I look forward to your life's paper
When it's all done
Submission is due as you close your eyes to sleep
Be at peace in life so
It becomes routine in passing
Dodging the ties that would prevent a future
I'm remembering
How I have reminded folks
I am not just a womb
I don't have to be one part of together
