A winning performance

Two years ago I won….

I accomplished and faced my greatest fear
And I am here because my ambition wouldn't let me settle

I am here because to many opportunities have passed me by and I just let them go
I am here because if anyone I want myself to know I did it

I can stand here with pride because of the inspiration within me
I’ve showed destiny she is my enemy

I've moved on to an opportunity greater than what my own eyes can understand
And I also realize my future is in my hands

I gave credibility to the labels like depression, fear, anxiety, and even more
But those are the exact things I had to fight in this war

It wasn't the color of my skin that made me insecure
It wasn't lies that were told that discouraged my trust

It was me

I feel like Darkness is coming for me
Wanting to room in his company for eternity

But I'm just so so inspired I won't feel right if I let it get the best of me

All my life I died again and again to understand who it is I will be
And why is Destiny so territorial over me specifically

You know I'm raised up in faith
I'm raised in love
Raised in peace
Raised in inspiration
Raised in ambition

So I understand why Destiny and her friends are coming for me
Because they envy the “better” I see in me

I swear to this audience if I am the only one that hears
I'll lose my faith before I walk in Fear, Death, Darkness, Destiny, Misery,

With all due respect I will not sit in their company
