"When there is no one left to define you...you inherit the duty of defining yourself"
They have always been able to drown out my internal light...leaving me in darkness. Leaving me in a place where the external becomes paramount and self gratification stands in the place where self improvement used to be. I might sleep for a minute but you best believe I will be waking up...wide eyed. So without fanfare or "pomp and circumstance", I improve daily. Arriving closer to my goal...inch by inch and step by step. While all may ask "what happened to him?", I silently improve. Leaving all speculation to the speculators. Allowing my internal light to shine even brighter within my closet of solace.
My people, I don't need your praise or accolades. I don't need your worship or adoration. I just require the truth of you that I may know where to place my affections. I am more than content to receive your transparency than to constantly have to contend among doubt. The next time you see me, I just want to able to say in truth..."do you see me? I can see you too"...
