Inside of you is a voice that has had enough of yesterday.

Inside of you is a voice that wants what it wants whether you like it or not.

Inside of you is rage.

I knew something needed to be done because trying to have fun was pressure and that was me feeling numb before the point I'd scream out "F*ck! I've hit my ceiling!" It was time to rid myself from this feeling and starting believing...

I learnt a valuable lesson the other day...it was this?

"𝙋𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙪𝙩𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣...𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙣"

Once I had made peace with the finite decision to move through ignorance that was disrupting my plans I realised something else...

𝟮𝗗:
Why am I worrying about transitory people who pass comments on my work that doesn't concern them when? Often the initial pep talk starts of as a gentle nudge in the "You got this!" direction, but then somehow ends up in the "You're not serious about your work"

More time this quip airs after some years past and people are shocked that you're still on dis ting... Still thinking and continuing to find ways to make the thing you see so vividly in your mind a reality.

All these daft sausages 🌭 worrying about you end up saying negative things without even realising.

Stop!

Clumsy silence
Awkward.
I feel your hand brush mine.
Goosebumps

Clumsy silence.
I feel your eyes zapping my chest see-through to my heart pounding!
Okay! Okay! Galloping
It's happening! It's finally happening!

Clumsy silence
I care less for how you say it just as long as you say it.
Will you... say it?

He danced like no one was watching him...
And that's just the thing about it...
He was gangs over love...
He was loves over f***s
He was f***s over...
Being fu**ed over.

And that's what he loved.
He loved you... and that's why he danced alone...
Waiting for you.
Every.single. fu***ng time.

"Come talk to him" He said
"Come kiss me" He said

She never messaged back.
Just blue ticks with last read messages.

F**k.

I spent a lot of time replaying 'Open conversation and Mark Duggan'

It moved me more and more as the stereo played the lesson to my ears at the top of its voice. There is something raw about this song that made something inside of me wake up and think about craftsmanship and how we shape it in such a way that it acts as a point of reference for reinvention...

𝑴𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏:
I looked different
Stood differently and my voice...well that changed each time I took deep breaths.
I like to think it's hunger and courage getting a lot more bolder with accepting the past as not the be all and end all. .

I stared into my mini office at home and said "something in here is going to open that door" .

"𝗖𝗵𝗮!" I said to myself picking up another sheet of paper.
Another idea...
Another edit...
Another one someday soon come moment.
Losing my head a bit I sat down on my steps on the landing and did some dreaming! Freestyled some thoughts and pretended I was one of these dope artists who had something to say! I did that until I stopped repeating the same dead lines until something new came out.

Taking a bow (𝑦𝑒𝑠 𝐼 𝑡𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑎 𝑏𝑜𝑤 𝑜𝑛 𝑚𝑦 𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑚𝑦 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚) I felt a lot better about myself.
I felt comfortable.
I felt open.
I felt honest.

There's a quote I adore from a chapter titled '𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸?
"A genius! For thirty- seven years I've practiced fourteen hours a day, and now they call me a genius!"

More and more I'm understanding the story of the 'Tortoise and the Hare', and it's relevance as I near closer to crossing my finish line.

It's
Not what others say!
Not what others think!
Not what others disregard!
Not what others take credit for!
Not what others forget!
Not what others misunderstand!
It's
Shut. Out. Noise.
Breathe.
Sit still.
And
Work can wait.
Now
Chill.

𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒇𝒇
It's time to think... declutter. Filter out sarky comments and ignorant rants disguised as bants.
It's time to sharpen my pencils
Look at my work.
Smile at my work
Be proud of my work
Love my work
Believe in my work
Feel the stories within my work
And then get back to work.

As mum would say "𝑆𝑜𝑛... 𝑟𝑢𝑛 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑒"

[Pitter- Patter]

"It's not what other people believe you can do; it's what you believe you can do."
⚡️
⚡️
I dream
Like
Big kids
That scuttle around in grown up shoes,
And scrunch the s**t of canned dreams.
It's a madness,
Trust me.

[𝑨𝒘𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒂𝒕 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕]
3am wanting it to be 11pm
Dem ones, we've all experienced it.
The absurdity,
The reality in wanting more than the furthest part of any one particular dream.
5am with two hours until the alarm sounds.
Time to get up now.

[𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑽𝒊𝒃𝒆]
The creation
From inception
Or
The point when an idea becomes a hitman to time
Or
The reasons when 'I'm sorry' or 'wow how many days have gone by?'
Feels like a repetitive rhyme.

[𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆]
To slaughter all
That
Never
Conquered
With
A pen licked to tip
Into pages inked dribbled
In all that I scribbled.

[𝑶𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈...]
I was down.
I am down for this f**king story.
Calm.
With with slang like 'this is a minor ting'
To
Wake
Up
Into the night time where lullabies wipeout all wrongs.

[𝑴𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕]
Well I guess that all comes down to your choice of perspective...

[𝑫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈... 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏]
With end results
And a speech ready for the red carpet.
I can't help it.
This vision is perfect.
Let's go for it.

𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒇𝒍𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒖𝒓🍒:

Lips of honey
Lips of yummy
Lips that cause spin cycles to a tummy

Lips smooth
Lips that soothe
Lips that kiss to imprint into a groove

Lips ready
Lips unapologetic
Lips that let you know that you're gonna get it
Now he, cocky smoothe stretches sound out from between moistened lips to let slip his raw intention.

He says,
"Now don't you forget it"
"Now don't you forget it"
"Now don't you forget it"

𝑨𝒓𝒈𝒉!!:

Someone pi**ed off
Someone busy
Someone unsure
Someone sore
Someone asking for more
Someone innocent
Someone arrogant
Someone calling someone ignorant
Someone blatant
Someone vacant
Someone using their silence to make a statement
Someone you love
Someone you hurt
Someone you know full well doesn't deserve to be treated like dirt
S**t that hurt!

And all of this is caused because of those pesky
