I'm sick...and I'm tired...

Of being strong because weak men don't get respect

Don't feel like no one feel the pressure in my neck

Since Poppa died, things have been happening that are life changing and mind boggling, and ah the joy I feel...along with, the "girl get it together" "come on baby, you can do it" "WOMAN, IT IS TIME TO GROW UP AND BE GROWN!" My dreams have been coming true-literally-right before my eyes-and I can feel the goose bumps raising even now, as I write...I got the tissue on deck.
