Life threw me so many curve balls
Life threw so many trial and tribulations
I caught each
I saw them in the moment
I watched them transpire
Because as hard as the moment may seem
They do transpire
They turn into dust
Just like us
Life saw me in the mirror
And I stared back at it with eyes open wide
I said, not today life
And it shattered inside
Because as strong as it may seem
It is built up of dreams
And even theirs shatter
Just like us
Life asked me to choose
I pointed to his heart and said
I would have been in this forever but
You lose
As I stepped back and fell into the 23 waterfalls I wrote about
I saw things drown
I thought they were 23 parts of me
The parts I need
But I was mistaken
At the bottom of the waterfall lay them
Because as light as they claim to be
Their baggage is heavy and they will meet the deeply eroded depression
Hitting the plunge pool
Quicker than us
23 I scream
Life begins for me … at 23.
When he left me crying bitter tears
He thought I would become his 2nd renegade
It’s not even been a year, thankful I am to be here
As the world can witness me making lemonade.
– Psalms 103:2 –
