Rejecting "The Cure"


I rejected the cure

Used to the sickness

Comfortable with impure

Not looking for redemption

I was tired of looking frail

Called lame by many

I rejected the cure

Proposed by plenty

I was force-fed the cure

But I vomited it out

I rejected the cure

In denial of my bouts

With life’s obstacles

Struggling with being weak

To death, I was on the brink

I prayed but heard no answer

My thoughts were a cancer

I accepted the cure

After crying out of eyes

That were the driest deserts

I am the cure

Stronger than ever

Feeling 100%

I am My Best

When I Am

More than Better

I write because I feel. I feel because I think about where we are today, where we've many times before, and where aim for many tomorrows. To say I'm content would be an overstatement. To say I'm grateful would be an understatement. I'm seeking collective liberation through a medium in which I have yet to fully explore. I desire harmonic convergence for YahWeh's kingdom in this life and beyond.
