E.R.I.C.

For some, these are hard times,

To others its just the same old stuff,

-wake up, eat, and go to sleep.

getting over 2011 may not be as easy as some might have thought, (at least for me)

just 4 days ago, it was 2011, filled with good and bad memories of how the year was. 

for starters i was arrested in week 2 of 2011, was in two unsuccessful relationships same year

lost my job, cleared my savings drinking, forgot about my family, forgot who i am, lived for the day,

cared less about others, i was this cold, ungrateful evil person. 

am afraid to face 2012, maybe because i don't know what to look up to.maybe its because my dark passed is not ready to let go, maybe its because i don't want to follow same path.

maybe its because am uncertain of who i will meet and how they will affect me.

i can tell, the last 40 hours i have spent in 2012, hasn't been the most rewording.

a man only gets one chance to do right. 

Unlike last year when i used to shun God and going to church, this year a new me will embrace God.

His power and grace over my work. i have accepted defeat, and turned to my father. 

i admit this in broad daylight. i humble myself to you oh Lord, look down on me with kindness.

its ages since i read a bible, or even held one. but now that is history. a new me is in the making.

I stand tall because this is who i am. E.R.I.C

Now i do believe there is a candle, in every soul. some burn brightly, others fade away. my light will rekindle and God is my witness.
