Today is Yesterday’s blessing
If I could put my finger on the number of times that life looked so bleak, I would probably have my hands in an absolute bind. I reflected on a few occurrences lately that had me rescinding my disposition when really, they were merely the realizations that were necessary at this point in time to let me know how short this existence can seem when all we do is misappropriate the very opportunity we are blessed with.
Hitherto, the resurgence of my mortality has made me appreciate every single second that I am able to make a positive change in my somehow sedentary state of mind:
Beaten and bruised by the inability to see past the haze, a single moment seemed gruesome
Still the sense of self held my head up high and recapitulated on the necessities of years to come
With tongue in cheek I admitted to myself that I was not living the dream or so to some it may seem
Understanding my stance I have engaged in making amends and signing up with the winning team
For the tunnel was so dark and dastardly, so full of despair and detriment, engulfed I was in failure
Renewed with the passion to show the miracle I am, prepared to take on the tasks of this new tenure
Always will I be greatful to the Most High for a repeated chance to make this right and justify my accolade
Verily I say, the curve is great and maybe a little painful, but hopefully it may not cut as much as a double edged blade
With my eye on the prize, fighting the good fight and keeping the faith; I march on steadfast and inspired
Heart on my sleeve, soul of a reborn man, rebirthed in the sanctity of a redefined silhouette with renewed vigor and fire
Humbly abounding in love for my family and appreciating the torment that comes with discerning the best
I resort to staying true to this metamorphosis of a boy into the man I see myself becoming and standing up to the impending test
Beating the foes like a drum I will forever hope to claim victory over these tests and stand tall at every moment
I am now on the brink of rediscovery as I cherish this semblance of renewed commitment.
The prologue to a new chapter…
