No More Almost

I am done with ALMOST.
Done with halfway lit flames
flickering in winds of "maybe tomorrow"
I have been a furnace of fire
but too scared to scorch the world
with all this heat.
I got vision so vivid it blinds me--
but I blink.
Got purpose with purpose,
but i pause and rethink.
I don't need another journal
full of dreams deferred,
I need discipline that don't flinch
when the mood deserts.
I need war cries in my calendar,
battle plans in my routine,
cause potential without power
is just a beautiful dream.
I talk impact.
But impact don't come from
pretty quotes and goosebumps .
Impact comes from choosing the grind when
the glitter's gone.
TRUTH?
I've been dressing survival up
in productivity's name.
Burning out like a badge.
Working hard, but not always wise.
Performing the process,
but scared of the prize.
Perfection ain't protection,
and approval ain't peace.
So why I keep shrinking
in rooms I was built to lead?
This voice? its got thunder.
These scars? They got sermons.
This story? Could set captives free--
but not if it stays caged in my chest.
So no more almost
No more drafts that don't get dropped.
NO more reels I rehearse in my head
but never post.
No more treating my purpose like a weekend fling
when its asking for covenant, queen energy,
and kingdom dreams.
From this moment on,
I burn without apology.
I build with bold hands.
I speak with split-truth swords
and unfilitered plans.
I don't need another idea.
I need obedience.
I don't need another open door.
I need the courage to walk in.
So let this be my vow:
I show up.
Unmuted.
Unmasked.
Unstoppable.
Unapologetically ME.
No more almost.
Just all in.
Forever forward.
Let's begin.

Reflecting in stillness, strength is my silence. Every scar, every stare--part of the story i am no longer afraid to tell.
