Promise

I will write every reason I got to get out of bed
I will write till I got no more reasons left
Till I only got dead brain cells in my head
I will write till I got nothing more that is unsaid
I will write till what's broken inside starts to mend
I will write down all my sins and how to make amends
I will write till I got nothing more that is unsaid
I will write, hell, even if you leave me on read
I will write every failure and why I think I fell
Write my way outta hell, where my inner demons dwell
I will write until they all quite down and quell
I will write that I will write, then I will write that as well
I will write on all these straight lines that don't bend
Speak my mind on my pages until I reach my end
I'm writing in this little black book like Cole
And if I'm ever on the road I'm probably using my phone
I will write if inspiration hits like a ton of bricks
Or if I have to sit and make myself commit
If I'm stuttering & writer's block is a pain in my ass
Or if I'm writing like I already mastered the craft
I will write all I've seen said and all that I've heard
All the good, bad and absurd, dark fears and heavy burdens
All the things that are clear, all the things still blurry
All the things that are healed, all things still hurting
Mama told me speak your truth and it will likely resonate
It's that most personal pain that will probably propagate
And I always listen to whatever Ommy has to say
So it doesn't matter if these words rhyme, or if they don't
Doesn't matter if I write to music, or I write without
Keep these words to myself, or if I shout them out
If these words make sense, or no one knows what they're about
I'm still writing regardless, that something you can never doubt

Cause this is not a play or a ploy
This is pure joy
This is pure expression
A pleasure dodging depression every writing session
Confessions releasing pressure and
Paving a path for my progression
I learned the hard way that every L is a lesson
Every breath is a blessing
I write it all down so there's no way I'm forgettin
I'm writing till Armageddon
I'm writing my way to heaven
I don't care if no one cares, it's really me that I'm addressing
This is for me when I'm stressing, to remember who I am
This is for me when I'm content, so I can see where it began
This is for me when I'm defeated, for me whenever I need it
Or when I'm feeling myself and got a little conceited
Either way I'm writing it down I don't wanna conceal it
I'll write my best and trust that I can still write something better
Untethered from this fear of losing talent
Like one day I'll start writing and I'll be running out of letters
I'm not taking shit for granted, I'm just tired of the doubt
So Imma put pen to pad and let it all out
I know the path forward has a lot of roads
And to each his own
But I have a way with words
So Imma that way home
