N.I.C.E. Guys Do Finish Last
Since we're bastardizing words
Thru the warped lens of revisionist history
Allow me to throw my entry into the
Reimagined Social Contract
^^^^^
Because I've made a conscious decision long ago to
Keep Love in my Heart and God in my Spirit
I did my Human best to stay close to my Original self
Learned how to forgive myself
Make an accord with my Deamons
And cultivate a true Love for what it is to be
Alive
I've been thru the depths of depression
Tired of living scared of dying...trying new coping mechanisms
Drinking myself to sleep hoping I can just pass out
And Drift thru the NetherRealm
Without another Nightmare
But
There came a time
When God whispered in the dark...injected me with the
All-Spark as that Universal reminder
I am Worthy
No longer anyone's victim
I Total Recalled all of my Victories
...all of my accomplishments when I purposefully
Chose...
Will To Power
No longer Will I cower in the shadows
Of my former self...that [guy] was just a learning Lesson
A steppingstone...a Blessing in disguise
Teaching me how to atone on my own...hone my Gifts
Own my shit...put an H on my back and handle it
Become a Traveler with my Traumas neatly compartmentalized
Instead of a straggler with emotional baggage
Spilling all over the place...
Struggling with Truth
So here Eye am...2024
The Elephant Man back on tour
Using Remembrance as the Skeleton Key to open new Doors
Rock Steadied in Sankofa
Divining while re-defining what it is to be
A nice guy
Nuanced...nurturing....naturally Me
Intelligent...intuitive...instinctually a Man
Creative...charismatic...Conscious of my Humanity
Esoteric...enigmatic...a Walking Epiphany
...and yes
Nice guys do finish last...because we Last
We understood the Assignment...
Life is not a sprint...it's a Marathon filled with teachable Moments
So let's appreciate what it is to Live Learn and Love
As we Grow confident in our own Niceness
Peace
