This Is Your Time


This is the time you write…. No intentions in mind, no rhymes Just the time you write what you feel No fancy words needed, and no editing Because these words are real, and these emotions are raw This is the time when you don’t speak….. Because your blood boils when you try to formulate words And your skin tightens just before you finally realized you’ve changed This is the time when people wonder how you feel, and you keep it that way Because this time is for you, and only you will ever know exactly how you feel This is the time when you are taken somewhere you would rather forget, When singing, rapping, speaking or writing doesn’t do you enough justice In this moment, no words can express the deepest extent of your emotions This is the moment when you finally realize exactly what you need to do next… The time when no action is needed because God teaches you how to forgive and move on
