Love the substance

 Let my focus

Be on you

Not my

Own grievance

My own desires

My own timing

For I know not

Why I can’t 

Wait on your goodness

In what’s to come

And right now

Presently 

Be content

Where 

I’m at now

There is 

A reason 

For every season

Even the waiting ones


My life 

Is not a 

Social media reel

With endless smiles

And designer bags

It’s a hard slog

One that 

Isn’t at completion

By a long mile


I’m learning again

Not the prettiest 

Picture painted

But it’s 

The most authentic


In a society

That desires

Style over 

Substance

Here 

We are

The substance

No matter

How much

The truth hurts
