You Betta!

Today I rose

ahead of the sun

Streamlines of light as the night transfers to early dawn

Waking up ahead of the yellows, oranges, and white beams of light

Waking up to empty a full anxious bladder

a process of bile and bilirubin

Bodily wastes

Yucky when its poopy

I knew someone who believed in not popping just because how gross it was to them

Imagine a body filled with backed up waste cause the thought is too gross to let it out but then keep it all in???? uh🤔

Welp some morning gossip I suppose

Anyway

Thinking of many thoughts

But maybe I'm overthinking that thought yet again

cause (pausing)

what was on mind again???

Wait

Oh it was nothing at all actually, maybe. Who cares tho

Idk

Maybe I keep it empty

Why keep stressing thoughts

Why let me mess with me like that

Shit naw!

Gurl chill

I'm not having that

Don't your ass got sumin to do?

Go to the mirror and say something affirmative or sumin cause NOPE I'm not havin that

Not stressin

Not worrying

I'm bout to be careless

Unbother

Without the weed

"Mary Jane"

Buts I gots a herbal blend

CBDeeeeees

Oui weeeeee

Kisses from my lips

Put my stress under a bath ball

If I can't keep the stress levels down

No worries

Words of Affirmation

And confidence holding up my spine

Teaching myself a lesson

To know "thy self"

But to also recall

What isn't new under the sun

It's the same Ole thing

Same Ole pain

Same Ole struggle

Same and new ways to survive

So

Stress free

And words of affirmation

And let this confidence do the work!

So rise Antoinette

It's time to start the day.
