Vision Reality 🌥️ (Poem—3 parts)
……………………………….
Vision reality — Pt.1✨
Dreams VS. Vision 💭
……………………………….
Dreams to me—
are what you see when you’re asleepVision, is what you set goals for—
to execute & achieveI have so many goals in mind
& I believe what the mind can see—
you can bring to lifeFrom Vision to Reality
But There’s just this little catch though
Sometimes it feels like it works
& sometimes—it feels like it don’tSometimes you get to keep somethings
Sometimes you won’tThen there’s times—
you don’t even get to have itUnless it’s in your dreams
& not realityI 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 landAt first it hurts so much
You question everything—including you & your self-worthSomethings are just not meant—for you though
Sometimes it’s just wrong size—
perhaps wrong addressOr simply just—
wrong timingAlotta times—
things tend to look all pretty & shiny ✨So much so—
they can easily become blindingFrom afar they’ll bling —
attracting anyone & anythingJust remember—things aren’t always what they seem
Sometimes the ring don’t fit
Or your body don’t accept itSometimes I’m allergic
& my body rejects itBut with so many options in this world
Sometimes—
Just Sometimes—
Less is moreBut don’t get discouraged—
I just want you to knowWorry 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 wroteI set some goals
& I could easily tell you now
but my goals aren’t for everyone to know
I would rather show you howI rather create my master plan—
have a talk upstairs w my old man
Jot them down—
remember howThe struggle is real
but God is RealerHow—plans are a guide
But usually never—fully set in stoneSometimes you’ll go straight ahead—
sometimes you detourStay on your toes—
& ready for redirectionCause the time will come—
when plans ain’t steadySometimes they go south
Sometimes they’ll go NorthBut don’t you worry—just hold tight
& don’t let goKeep in mind—
there is more than one way—you can goJust hand him the wheel—let him steer
& put your blinders on—
so you can see clearListen up & listen close
Be careful with all that—outside noiseSometimes his voice can be real quite
So I do my best—to quite my surroundingsCause—
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 meBut then—
I go straight into hidingHiding behind memes & streams—
that contradict what he believesCatch 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 meLike that one time—
I had that vision of a business
But it didn’t make itNamed it—Vision Reality
I was so hopeful & determinedI held on to the idea—for some time
Tryna not—let go of itI paid a lot of money out of pocket
Until I couldn’t pay—no more of itSpent months & months—working on it
Alot of frustrating late nights—
that felt like wasted timeBut no time is ever wasted—
if you chose to learn—from all the unexpected lessonsI 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—RememberingI’m never fully in charge—
I’ve never beenI always wanna be in control
& I know it’s time—I learn to let goLet go—of my so called “Master Plans”
Lay them down into—the Real Masters HandsLet him help me quite all the noise
Take my lil social media breaks—as needed
so I can fully hear his voiceFocus on my own goals & life—
not just sit back-chillin—
watching y’all live yoursLive my life for me
Remembering—Not everything in life—
needs to be shared
Not everyone—
needs to know everythingW so many distractions—
It can be easy to be sucked into the madness
To forget—our own goals & visionsSo I take breaks—when I start to feel low or stagnant
& I revisitRevisit my goals & pray on em’
Cause soon as I get comfortable—
i’m uncomfortable again
knowin I should—be working on the next oneSo 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 himTo not let this world stain my lenses
cause I hate to become blind
& a prisoner of my own mind
& rob myself—of my own blessingsBut when everything around me’s—
fake news
When everything is wrong—
that I once thought to be trueAll this & more—can really weigh on me
& I can’t lie—it can really get depressingSo I ask my God—
for some love notes—here & there
To let me get a glimpse of heaven—
util I myself—can finally get thereSo for 2024—
there’s so much—that I plan to doMost of all—I just want to become—
less of me & more of youI really love to brag about your love for us
Cause I wish the world knew—it’s trueBut vise versa—I could never brag about MY love for you
I know I fail you—every day
Real quick tho—I just wanna sayThank you—Lord
For your provision & my daily breadFor the day you told me
Just hold on—you won’t regret it
Trust me—I got itCause even though it sometimes hurts—
I’ll take it15 yrs later—You were right
I don’t regret it2024—is yours Lord
Show me—just what you can doI think I’m ready now
I wanna see you moveLet’s go—Let’s get it
God,
This is My Love Note back to you💙🙏🏽
