Heal Lyrics

These days I count my blessings

By that I mean like first thing, immersing

Like every single morning

Matter of fact, I write em down by the dozens

And I don't judge em if they're repetitive or corny

Matter of fact, I write a whole lotta nada

But still I gotta, I can't just let it bottle up

And I don't share that shit with no one

That's all different from these poems

These are offerings I leave for you to gobble up

Gotta love every single struggle and conflict that made me

And if I don't, God himself couldn't save me

Lately, I've been digging into my own childhood

First memory was hiding from me, a wild one

Spare you the details, that shit would derail

Any 4 year old kid who could barely buckle a seatbelt

But now I've learned that the mind ages memories like wine

In an effort to protect us from the pain through the times

Time brings suffering, and suffering is growth

But the growth don't come if you're tripping in the smoke

When the past has both hands gripping on your throat

But you wear a fake smile while you're flippin' on the low

Heal

Take the time to understand why you respond

with this emotion

When was the first time

That you can remember that you experienced

This emotion

Visit that time

Forgive that time

Forgive those who hurt you

So you can stop carrying that hurt

So you can be you again

That child

Who was told not to be

Thank you for listening to The Way of The Artist

Big shoutout to Julia Cameron for inspiring me

And the Bassment Studios for having my back throughout the years

My wife, my brother, my parents, my family, my friends

Who all support me

Thank you to my teachers who show me the way

And above all

Thank you God
