my faith and my grandma

I refuse to live in someone else mindset prison

Won’t even allow you to put me in it

My mind stays free

My freedom is due me

It had been a long time coming

Spent a long time running

I refuse to live in your box

All nicely bubble wrapped

Insecurities

Jealousies

Talent untapped

You hate me

Why?

Because I am mentally free

I’m free to be me without apology

I am me

Not you

I make choices

I choose

To be a daughter of destiny

I will go where destiny leads me

Free

My grandma now gone

From that moment on

Her last words she told me

Chet be free

Be happy

Life is too short

Short as previews

The nightly news

I have to live this life through

Exploring my own horizons

Valleys low

Cities

And avenues

I have paid life’s dues

I paid my fees

To be mentally free

Hansel and Gretel

Followed the trail of my tears

Which were left from my pain

I turned the pain around

Now I am sustained

I am maneuvering

To get to the place in life

Where I need to be

I’m running towards destiny

My grandma said

Chet be happy
