Moment of Clarity

 

  Nobody owns me a thing. Not even an apology. I am a grown man with a whole life to live. If I am wrong correct me. If I am on the right path than congratulate me. Friends are friends. Allies are allies. Business is business. Clarity. Clarity. Clarity.   

  Everything that I want for myself I must get up and work for it. As the popular saying goes "nothing in life is free." Nothing has been given to me either. Achievements and accolades that are attached to me are only mine because I took advantage of what was placed before me. Whether it was being on the Dean's list in high school. Scoring a hundred plus on an Africana Studies quiz in college. My two feet had to move before me so things could happen. Clarity. Clarity. Clarity.    

  There is a cost to the life I live. I barely go outside. I do not have that much of a social life. Close friends and family are the only exception. My only companions are Prime, Max, Netflix, and YouTube. Clarity. Clarity. Clarity.   

  Expansions and shifts have taken place so I can be here writing to you. The breed that I have become cannot be confined inside of a board meeting or a college course. There were theories of mine that have been proven to be correct and some that were proven to be dead wrong. Between what I am going through and what I have been through I will never be the same person I was at twenty-three. It is the storms in our lives that makes us into who we are destined to be. Not the soothing breezes. Clarity. Clarity. Clarity.     

  People tell you who they are If you just observe them long enough. Tone, speech, and attitude are indications as to whether you should be around a person or not. There are times where I get a lot of hate and shade for being too observant. But I rather be alert than be asleep. I smile. I cry. I greet. I still keep my eyes open. Clarity. Clarity. Clarity.   

  Through it all I still remain humble and meek. I am still a student of life as well as a master of my own craft. My Father in heaven is the only one that gives me orders. I am proud of where I come from. I am not ashamed to be myself. Flaws and all I am not embarrassed to admit that I am at peace with how my life has been thus far. Lessons that have been learned have brought me closer to my destination. Thank you for letting me have this moment of clarity.
