“Mile Long Milestones”

Standing on step two of her stairwell to destiny

Keeps looking back so she can’t see the steps she needs to see

Too focused on what’s behind her so she doesn’t realize how far she has to go

If she changed her direction and believed in herself then she would finally know

“Tap, tap, tap”

That’s the sound of her dreams knocking at her door

“Bum hoe, no common sense!”

That’s what she hears screaming from the floor

Falling deeper and deeper into what she’s supposed to let go of

Believing all of these things, and right now, maybe it is so

But she shouldn’t believe because that’s what self love is for

This is your push to elevate

Share your pain and see how many can relate

Never woulda thought vulnerability would be step three

But we can't let who we we’re in the past define what we

Taking those steps

Pulling every knife from her back

Cleaning the slate from the knives she’s put in the backs of others

Some will relate and stay

And a grudge is the only answer for some other brothers

So she takes the cake and walks away

Because this is the table she set

While still forever grateful

Because if it wasn't for those bad decisions

She wouldn’t be progressing to the next step
