What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?
From the moment that the EMS confirmed that my mother was deceased
I was told that I was released
And given permission to live for myself
But I stored my priorities on a shelf
To make space for her needs
I had no idea how to proceed
So I spiraled around her urn
Making mistakes after mistakes, hoping to learn
Who I should be
I even let temptations consume me
I picked up the poison that put her down
I called bad influences into town
To fool around a be the clown without a tent
Til I was met with an unfortunate event
And decided to do some self reflection
I removed the emotional armor that only provided the deflection
Of my insecurities
Now that I’ve put in the work, I’m sure it’s me
That I’ll choose
Over those who would abuse
Who I was and what I had
I’m glad
To have fought through my sorrow
And lived long enough to reach tomorrow
– Gotti
