When a grown man approaches you after school
This is a bump in the road you say no to
When a grown woman abuses your child
This is a hump to deal with too
When a boss needs a pro but hires you
This is a bump in the road you say no to
When your team wants only to use you
This is a hump to deal with too
When your child doesn’t listen to you
This is a bump in the road you say no to
When your family doesn’t understand you
This is a hump to deal with too
People are people; they do what they do
You are a person too
But what others choose shouldn’t influence you
You are not your abusers you are you
You are not your lovers you are you
Learn to live right
Learn to live true
Live in light or darkness
It’s up to you
Life has humps and bumps for all to get through
Don’t think this is only you going through
Some folks will hurt others will help you
This is life, stay sober, moment by moment, hump by bump
Bump by hump, learn, progress, move on, go through
Even when you don’t want to
Keep going
No pity
Rise over the humps
Rise over the bumps
Most days are hump days for humans to get through. Remember who you were before the bumps happened to you.
From the inside out live
Don’t move in a pack
Those who reject you are doing you a favor
Those who accept you still must be vetted over time
Reconcile new information and make better decisions
Enjoy your peace, inspiration, and happiness.
Forever, for Always, for Love.
