For the last few years I’ve tried to make you remember
Make you remember everything that I was
And make you remember everything that I am destined to be
Make you remember the things I was obsessed to see
And make you remember the traits that unequivocally made me
I tried to make you remember every emotional impact
Every mental moment that I would mastermind
Every time I made sure doubt was never left intact
Ensuring your intensity would never be undermined
I tried to make you remember
But it seems my memory was a tad blinded
Because you see I forgot
I forgot that belief wasn’t always 360
Support wasn’t always in the system
Confidence wasn’t always reciprocal
Mutual understanding wasn’t always standing beside me
I remembered what would usually guide me …was me
Sitting up late at night wondering why only me
And then I remembered a few soft voices
And then I remembered a few that made the unpopular choices
And then I remembered the brave few that had my back
The brave few that knew you hadn’t seen the best of me
The brave few that knew my true destiny
They looked deep inside and saw the recipe to my fate
They saw my drive
They saw my passion
They saw my will
They saw the value of my unique way to create
And they saw inscribed across my heart was the word “Great”
They saw what the proud many turned a blind eye to
So when my destiny becomes reality
Do not let my blindness surprise you
