Louis Howell:
"I once heard that you shouldn’t be afraid to eat alone when you know what you bring to the table
And embracing what sets us apart can be tough, but bro, you’re more than able
Cos it’s easy to be made aware of our mistakes and suddenly become shameful
But really this journey of accepting ourselves makes us unique. We can’t be labelled.
You’re a master of words that can go toe to toe when writing or speaking
And you choose to find ways to change the world when most people are sleeping
You commit to helping those less fortunate, and not be in the corporate world competing
Now its not to say that those in that world aren’t good people, but:
With all you’ve sown… The question is:
Are you ready for your reaping?
I respect that you always self assess so I don’t want to impede but,
In your metaphorical garden it's time to rid yourself of one particular weed"
Keshav Bhatt:
"A weed that grew deep and cast grey doubts on my dreams
In time, I let my thoughts grow weak, and no words could I speak...
Behind closed doors my efforts were being judged, and my intentions being critiqued.
I believe we’re like islands. Separate on the surface, yet connected in the deep.
To me the elite, are really those that sow dreams others reap.
They may have tried to bury me, but in the darkness emerged a seed.
I guess the pain I was feeling, was just rebirth being unleashed.
On my path I have bled, and many times been beaten.
Through all that’s been said. My purpose will never be weakened.
My method may be simple, but I formed each wound into wisdom.
It’s a great gift being given, to let anyone enter my kingdom.
If we want to grow, we have to be the ones to claim our real freedom.
I’m carried by the support and the words I receive from such good people.
And for a seat at our table? You must speak, with the presence of being equals.
We’re here to make a difference, not feed this world’s evils.
Those who know my story, know the traumas that ran deep
In my heart I always knew, the path to follow, was the one that taught peace.
No matter how you were broken, you can still bloom in response to your defeats.
I’m ready to step forwards, now I’ve gathered my own light
The path may not always be clear, but within I found my sight
This time I drop the shackles, spread my wings & take flight.
I’m ready to take this mission to brand new levels, places & heights."
Hope you all enjoyed this piece & let me know what you think in the comments :)
