Explored Strength (final draft)


This poet aka Derm, figured out how to survive without a significant other, and I'm damn good at it/know this, the past can teach you better than others, yeah it hurt, lesson learned and the past can't decide your future? can't happen, dammit/i know it did hurt, notice it's wrapped and bandage? and for what it's worth, the same tree can look lifeless in water so don't call yourself broken or hopeless, shit even Jehovah witnessed Jesus rise from a casket, damn can you fathom, man can we imagine?/But He rose kidd, the 🌎 knows this, and You know what Kidd? The Father, Son (Jesus) and The Holy Spirit is all One, You're His son, so get up, win some you lose some, it's progress NOT perfection, remember be humble and open-minded, a good guy listens when you speak, a wise guy hears what they don't say, yaaaay and HOORAY!!! Cause what they don't say is that you can forgive and still close the door/forgiveness does not mean or what you may think nor what you may see, sometimes healing looks like peace and is love from a distance, and protect yourself differently with no resentments, no anger and no revenge forever more/that's on the Lord, you now smile through storm's, you're now gentle when life gives you every reason to be hardcore/it can be hard but maybe that's what strength really looks like and that is a price I can afford/or at least I can explore, can you believe I paid the fee, I took a tour/and to keep it G, as I speak, I like to report/to him, her and yours, I believe to the core, if you ask me, " Is the description of what strength looks like from this poem, indeed correct??? Yes, it is correct and something I will always support, I thank you Lord, remember we are blessed, AMEN, ps.... Always repent & stay blessed 💯
