Pouring Out A Little Liquor... 🫗

I just poured out a little liquor for my lost want...

Now that it has been properly acknowledged and embraced, it can no longer truly haunt...

As I place a bevy of flowers on the freshly dug grave of this unfulfilled dream...

I suddenly realize that the time has come to dream a fresh dream that doesn't require so much fuel and drama to stitch it at its seam...

Today, with my mighty pen in hand, I forge a new path toward victory knowing that whatever is meant to be mine will be...

In the end, a fulfilled life purpose, fun-drenched peace, and making Poppa God proud are what matter most to me...
