Afraid

Don’t be

Fear is a tool

And being unafraid

Is freedom

Even if all you do is get up every day

And keep yourself safe and clean

Where you exist clean

I don’t know if i said this before

But I will say it now

I push sobriety

Not because drugs are harmful

Drugs and alcohol are no good when you need a clear head

but because drugs

even that bump in a stall

that funds crime

and there are much better things to do with your time and money

then ride the highs and lows of drug and alcohol

just do the math

if you have a habit

and think of what else you could have done

even if all it was

was a couple nights in a hotel with a pool

a new mattress

a new tv a new game

and don’t call me preachy

I could do my own math and I would be disgusted

so don’t do it

if it will bum you out

me personally

i have a penchant

for perfume

real good perfume

eau de parfume

and a good pair of shoes

I don’t purchase any of those things in excess

in fact any money I have now goes into doing the legal things

that will fracture systemic crime
