Day 957 - TwentyOne Days

Been twenty-one days since you've seen me here,
I'm the same ole man even when I disappear,
I've followed a crumbling path to no destiny,
I know in my soul it's not all I can be,
I yearn to break free from blinding routines,
Find the light which will lead me to my dreams,
I've settled, some people would politely say,
For a present I only hope will be better one day,
I do nothing to promote a better me inside or out,
Just let my mind whisper fears until they echo all doubt.

With that said, I am growing a better version of me,
Continually sowing the seeds I've planted between the weeds,
I am strong in my mind and faithful in my soul,
Maybe on the outside it just doesn't show,
I have an abundance of love and good will to give,
I have breath in my lungs and a reason to live,
I have a girl in my life who stands beside,
Her strength breeds a passion, makes me feel so alive,
She's rock solid ground where we stand together as one,
Doubt and fear? With her, I look around and find there is none.
