Preservation Through Transformation

Wed, 11/09/2016 - 09:36 -- jpm135

I used to believe in ways to get ahead

I used to think about what everyone else said

I used to find unruly things to do

I used to eat the societies food for thought

I used to embody everything I was taught

I found a way to prosper my own way

I found a life worth fighting for

I found the truth in a world full of lies

I found that it’s not myself, but societies standards I despise

I will continue down the strait path

I will continue to endure societies wrath

I will continue to reap what I sow

I will continue to apply the knowledge I know

I will continue to grow

I didn’t chose to change, I was chosen to change
