    Vision Reality 🌥️ (Poem—3 parts)

    ……………………………….
    Vision reality — Pt.1✨
    Dreams VS. Vision 💭
    ……………………………….
    Dreams to me—
    are what you see when you’re asleep

    Vision, is what you set goals for—
    to execute & achieve

    I have so many goals in mind
    & I believe what the mind can see—
    you can bring to life

    From Vision to Reality

    But There’s just this little catch though

    Sometimes it feels like it works
    & sometimes—it feels like it don’t

    Sometimes you get to keep somethings
    Sometimes you won’t

    Then there’s times—
    you don’t even get to have it

    Unless it’s in your dreams
    & not reality

    I know at times its felt so real
    But then it quickly disappeared
    Like quick sand slippen thru your hands
    On it went—to never ever land

    At first it hurts so much
    You question everything—including you & your self-worth

    Somethings are just not meant—for you though

    Sometimes it’s just wrong size—
    perhaps wrong address

    Or simply just—
    wrong timing

    Alotta times—
    things tend to look all pretty & shiny ✨

    So much so—
    they can easily become blinding

    From afar they’ll bling —
    attracting anyone & anything

    Just remember—things aren’t always what they seem

    Sometimes the ring don’t fit
    Or your body don’t accept it

    Sometimes I’m allergic
    & my body rejects it

    But with so many options in this world
    Sometimes—
    Just Sometimes—
    Less is more

    But don’t get discouraged—
    I just want you to know

    Worry bout yourself & your home

    Everything else will fall into place for you—along the road

    2024 Goals 📝
    ……………………………….

    So when they ask me about my 2024
    This is what I wrote

    I set some goals
    & I could easily tell you now
    but my goals aren’t for everyone to know
    I would rather show you how

    I rather create my master plan—
    have a talk upstairs w my old man
    Jot them down—
    remember how

    The struggle is real
    but God is Realer

    How—plans are a guide
    But usually never—fully set in stone

    Sometimes you’ll go straight ahead—
    sometimes you detour

    Stay on your toes—
    & ready for redirection

    Cause the time will come—
    when plans ain’t steady

    Sometimes they go south
    Sometimes they’ll go North

    But don’t you worry—just hold tight
    & don’t let go

    Keep in mind—
    there is more than one way—you can go

    Just hand him the wheel—let him steer
    & put your blinders on—
    so you can see clear

    Listen up & listen close
    Be careful with all that—outside noise

    Sometimes his voice can be real quite
    So I do my best—to quite my surroundings

    Cause—
    How I’m suppose to hear him talking—
    while listening to—“Yo Gotti”

    God be tryna reach out to me—
    after me asking him to guide me

    But then—
    I go straight into hiding

    Hiding behind memes & streams—
    that contradict what he believes

    Catch what I’m saying?

    I’m sorry Lord—I’m trying

    I know you know best—
    where I am—where I’m headed
    & what needs—be left—behind me

    Like that one time—
    I had that vision of a business
    But it didn’t make it

    Named it—Vision Reality
    I was so hopeful & determined

    I held on to the idea—for some time
    Tryna not—let go of it

    I paid a lot of money out of pocket
    Until I couldn’t pay—no more of it

    Spent months & months—working on it
    Alot of frustrating late nights—
    that felt like wasted time

    But no time is ever wasted—
    if you chose to learn—from all the unexpected lessons

    I know more now—then I did back then
    & perhaps that—one failed attempt
    will help me—perfect the next

    Love Note Back To You 💙
    ……………………………….

    So when I think about 2024
    & my goals I have set forth—
    I write them down & plan ahead
    Always keeping in mind—Remembering

    I’m never fully in charge—
    I’ve never been

    I always wanna be in control
    & I know it’s time—I learn to let go

    Let go—of my so called “Master Plans”
    Lay them down into—the Real Masters Hands

    Let him help me quite all the noise
    Take my lil social media breaks—as needed
    so I can fully hear his voice

    Focus on my own goals & life—
    not just sit back-chillin—
    watching y’all live yours

    Live my life for me
    Remembering—

    Not everything in life—
    needs to be shared
    Not everyone—
    needs to know everything

    W so many distractions—
    It can be easy to be sucked into the madness
    To forget—our own goals & visions

    So I take breaks—when I start to feel low or stagnant
    & I revisit

    Revisit my goals & pray on em’
    Cause soon as I get comfortable—
    i’m uncomfortable again
    knowin I should—be working on the next one

    So I ask him to help me—shut the world out again
    & all it’s nonsense
    To give me back my tunnel vision
    & let me get a lil glimpse of him

    To not let this world stain my lenses
    cause I hate to become blind
    & a prisoner of my own mind
    & rob myself—of my own blessings

    But when everything around me’s—
    fake news
    When everything is wrong—
    that I once thought to be true

    All this & more—can really weigh on me
    & I can’t lie—it can really get depressing

    So I ask my God—
    for some love notes—here & there
    To let me get a glimpse of heaven—
    util I myself—can finally get there

    So for 2024—
    there’s so much—that I plan to do

    Most of all—I just want to become—
    less of me & more of you

    I really love to brag about your love for us
    Cause I wish the world knew—it’s true

    But vise versa—I could never brag about MY love for you

    I know I fail you—every day
    Real quick tho—I just wanna say

    Thank you—Lord
    For your provision & my daily bread

    For the day you told me

    Just hold on—you won’t regret it
    Trust me—I got it

    Cause even though it sometimes hurts—
    I’ll take it

    15 yrs later—You were right
    I don’t regret it

    2024—is yours Lord
    Show me—just what you can do

    I think I’m ready now
    I wanna see you move

    Let’s go—Let’s get it

    God,
    This is My Love Note back to you

    💙🙏🏽
