So yesterday
My fears, doubts, and insecurities won
Surrounding on all sides, they jumped me
Affirming what I fought to disprove
That I'm not worthy
I'm not good enough,
That I'll never amount to anything more than this
No one cares and no one's listening to what I have to say anyway
I put up the best fight I could
Tried to replace the negativity with love
But in the end
They gained the advantage
Held me in captivity, torturing my mind
Bombarded with uncertainty
They tried to undo the years of work I put in
All the springs I spent cleaning my mentality
Scrubbing graffiti-like lies off my subconscious
And yesterday, they won.
Most days, my mind is a battlefield
With worries waging war on my psyche,
Insecurities speaking LOUDER than truth
And fears forever fighting for my attention
It's been a while since I took an L.
I'm usually able to keep these menace at bay
But I got caught slipping yesterday
Yeah, yesterday, they got the best of me
Reminded me of my humanity
Overwhelming with sadness and grief
Emphasizing what I lack
They point out I'm not as wise as I thought to be
Not always as strong as I seem
Yesterday
My insecurities took home grand prize
Evicted my confidence and damaged my pride
Left me sulking
Licking my wounds
But ain't no hoe in my blood
See, I'm a fighter, so I'm ready for round two
Because today,
Oh, today, I'm taking back the joy they stole
I'm coming back to prove doubt's voice wrong
If in order to get to the beauty, you first have to take out the beast,
Then I'll fight every negative monster fear and insecurity brings
Mentally wrestling with spirits and principalities,
I'll combat every worry-filled thought with positivity
I'll grind up my fears
Roll them with love
Spark creativity
Inhale peace, and blow
I got the juice
So watch as I turn lemons into lemonade
And my light shines bright so it only makes sense for me to be attacked this way
But this setback was just a set up for my comeback
Watch as I slay
Because today
I am more than my thoughts
More than my insecurities
Bigger than my fears
I am verbal creator
Mental chain breaker
Aggressive risk taker
I am divinity wrapped in humanity
Royally dressed by destiny
And I will body every obstacle placed before me
Yesterday
My fears, doubts, and insecurities may have won the battle,
But they ain't gonna win this war.
