Happiness is a State of Mind

Moving into this state
that was once blocked by a gate
blinded by indecision
and my inability to wait
I am here now
basking in his glorious presence
letting his residence take place in my mind
It was only a matter a time
I'm here now and there's no stopping me
filled by an evil spirit
delivered and replaced
by his glorious essence
thank you Lord for taking the time
to renew me
body and mind
you've been nothing but kind
now I'm here and it feels so good
paradise
it's all a state of mind.

Living my Life

Living my life to the fullest
not caring about people's opinions
wondering if today will be my last
chances only come once in a million
I'm not pretending
no time to be fake
I need to heal this deal from the inside out
no more cakin'
no more takin'
what I can get if it's it not worth it
grittin' and grindin'
no more wastin' my time
and one more thing
One more thought that's on my mind
I have to be kind
no longer caring if it's taken for weakness
It's just a sign
as God as my witness
tomorrow is never promised
just today, just the here and now
coupled by yesterday
moving forward is all I can do
and I have no time to beef with you
Just doing what I need to do and moving forward
on this path called life
tired of going through strife
It's natural
It's who I am inside of me
this body is a temple
for my spirit to dwell
one day I'll be gone
and what will it all have been for
another life
another waste
I won't let that be me
I'm here to make a difference
something to live for
something to make of my life
and no one's going to tell me
no one's going to make me
no one's going to get in my way
of what God promised me
today forever and a day
I'm here to stay.
