I Didn't let it stop me


I didn’t let it stop me While in search for the me I only knew within the confinement of my intellect, That still voice that drifted through the hollow veins of my conscious feeding life into my disbelief Such as, my urge to continue on in spite of is what my concupiscence received its motivation from I ventured out on a journey to find me at the tender age of 16 when it felt as if I was on the mountain peak of the unknown, Fighting against captivity I refused to be captured by negativity Even while experiencing fowls of this world I refused to be subsidized by defeat; I had to mount up with Every ounce of courage which turned my once laborious fight into an ultimate fight of victory With every piece of determination to get to my cloudy dreams I was able to produce an inescapable smile “Why have you abandoned me Lord?” Then the reply “I sent my son (Jesus) to vicariously endure for all humanity” Although, I might have been psychically homeless I was sheltered every night by the almighty living God Been places I never wanted to go, seen faces I will never forget, sat in facilities that calculated time…All in purposed to purify me. I must say this journey has not been easy but indeed this journey is far from complete So, to sum it all up and add to the fact “no residue” was manifested And if that wasn’t enough I went back and dipped my pen in the ink of my memory and mixed it with my triumph to produce the new book Ring, ring , ring the bells are ringing to the sound and mere fact… I didn’t let it stop me.
