THE GIFT & A CURSE

"The past is history, the future is a mystery, today is a gift so cherish
the present"


I'm trying to right my wrongs, but to try is to fail the wise man said.
Acceptance is the key to unwrapping the gift but my curse simply seals it up all over again.
Its like I get past the first layer with simply positve thoughts, then the devil words surface & start taking its course.
All children of the lord are innocent but since I took a bite from that bad apple, It's been nothing but a negative aura.
My persona, my vibe - I take in truth & give it back as a lie.
Again acceptance is the key for me to right my wrongs, but jealosy & hate - a human trait too strong.
I'm grateful for what I've been blessed with, but satisfaction is something that I haven't yet accepted.
Is it cause I see the cup half empty when It's really half full?
I awake to what we've been trained to do - I work to pay bills, pay bills to feel free
but debt keeps building & my salary isn't what I expect it to be.
Friend or foe, I let certain people in & keep others @ a distance.
Cursed with a good heart, so I strenghten it with reality - pure, uncut, raw reality
take a hit & you just might die.
