‎I NEED A NEW BEGINNING

I need a new beginning 

‎I need a new beginning like seriously, seriously,

‎I have been walking on shit and now I can’t stand my own smell

‎I can’t stand my own smell because I am reaping the fruits of my past mistakes

‎But that is not the story

‎That is absolutely not the story am here to tell

‎All that is in the past as I chose to live in the present 

as I gift the future with an apology,

‎A different decision and a resolution to do better

‎I have been in shit 

‎I have been in shit for a long time 

and the time is now to stop the smell

‎I am not looking for pity, I know the reason I am guilty, 

I know my duty and am ready 

‎To write a better new story because the future has been calling,

begging me for a different present

‎An end to the stink and a start a new beginning 

‎I am taking a walk to the IEBC

‎I am taking a walk to the IEBC like seriously,

‎I have a face that they need to see and a voice

‎my country needs to hear 

‎It has been messy and stinky and tricky policies

‎Crafted from great malice and treachery to further silence me 

and keep me walking in my own shit 

blaming every other enemy but me

‎I can’t take it anymore so 

‎I am going to put my vote in order 

‎because in the next election, I must stand to be counted
