Does it help you to grow, to be your best self or does it stop you or stunt your growth? When or if you see me in a four-four do you wonder where I go, what I sold to make things flow. If you see me in the dirt do you wonder why I’m hurt? Or do you pass me by… Would you see beyond the tattered cloths and look into my eyes and see a tattered soul? Do you love for reasons to gain more or do you hurt because you never realized what was in store. When money comes does it stay or does it leave as fast as it came? When you have money do you use it for your own personal gain? If I had it but lost it would you stay? If I had it and you stayed, would you state your claim, or use me up till I’m nothing but a sour face? When I’m with you these questions fill my brain.
