Hope is the bridge between despair and joy

Ima product of that statement

Tough times firm you up like the concrete that formed the pavement

Meaning they’re necessary

It’s more so the journey the destination starts becoming secondary

Without mistakes there’s no lessons.

Ignorance is bliss until you pass adolescence

Knowledge is the key to succeed

Learning and exploring your self will lead to future relief

Knowing yourself gon lead you down the right path

And ima hypocrite tried to forget my past

Only made me revert backwards

Stunted my own growth kept repeating the same chapters

Only 20 yrs old yet I’m preaching my pain like a pastor

Life ain’t no fairytale and dreams

no such thing as a happily ever after

It’s like a rollercoaster

Just gotta learn to deal with the motions

Had to unlearn self destructive habits

And the right ways of coping

If not now just know one day you gon have to face those emotions

Take it from another person who’s broken

Hard to be this vulnerable had to learn how to open

And even then part of me would rather be voiceless

Rather suffer by my lonesome than seek some assistance

Is it pride

Is it ego

I’ll tell you once I end up on the other side

For now hopes what’s keeping me alive
