BY MYSELF

I want to give thanks to myself for being strong through my dark times. I never lost faith, I've always kept a straight line. When I felt betrayed, I knew it was my time. I do feel great, but I'm not understanding why. I guess because I've changed into a better guy. I've destroyed my horns and grew back my halo, like I promised myself I would do. I don't need to prove myself, like I thought I had to do. It's either you're with me or you're not, it's up to you. I'm not going to bribe you to turn on my channel. I'm just going to let you miss out on my value as I climb the ladder. I don't have patience for people who don't appreciate my time. All of them will claim to care, but then when you need them, they'll run and hide. And abandon you for months, then act like everything's alright. I know I can make mistakes sometimes, but at least I own up to mine. The way to grow as a king or queen is to kick people out your life that cause disease. The ones that say you're the blame, but can't look at their own mistakes. The ones who can't open their minds fully to hear that their own words are fake. Don't keep that train going, it'll keep bringing bad omens. Let go, and move on. Your time will come. And when it does it'll be perfect. Because everything in your life will be worth it. You'll have people around that you can put trust in. Just have patience, and remember that you are worth it. When you lose friends or family or relationships, doesn't always mean you're doing something wrong. It's just a set back to help you grow and become stronger. And to learn your lesson of who to give your trust to. If I wouldn't have learned this lesson, I would have kept hurting myself. Now that I learned this lesson, Imma get it done by myself.
