“PICTURE FRAME”

SO MANY YEARS HAVE COME AND CAME,

PASSING THOSE ALONG THE WAY THAT STAYED THE SAME, 

GROWTH OVER TIME WAS FORCED WHEN THE TIME CAME, 

APPRECIATING THE SUNSHINE AND THE RAIN,

SOMETIMES ON MY FACE THE MANY TEARS LEFT A STAIN,

CRYING FOR ALL THE HURT MY HEART COULDN’T CONTAIN,

I’M SO SORRY…..I COULDN’T HOLD BACK THE PAIN,

I NEEDED RELIEF FROM THE CONSTANT BLAME,

SOME WERE TRUE, SOME WERE UNFOUNDED, AND MOST WERE JUST LAME,

ALL AN ATTEMPT TO BLOCK WHO I WAS DESTINED TO BECOME AND WHO I BECAME,

DAYS I WAS WRONG,  MISTAKE RIDDEN, FAILURE DROWNING…….I HAD TO LEARN, GROW, AND SUSTAIN,

ALL THE FEELINGS I HAD, DREAMS THAT DIED, A HEART FILLED WITH EMBARASSMENT AND SHAME, 

THOSE THOUGHTS RAINED DOWN ON ME LIKE A HURRICANE, 

GOD SAID I WAS AN OPEN FIELD, DROUGHT LADEN PLANE,

CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVES, MY EXPERIENCES, MY GOALS ARE NOW EASY TO SEE, SEEK, SIMPLE AND PLAIN,

YOU CANNOT SEE THE PICTURE WHEN YOU’RE THE ONE INSIDE THE FRAME…….
