god will have something go up in flames to get your attention.
shit my job has.
how can something i prayed about turn into a 5 alarm blaze?
as soon as i was moved to that new department to work amongst liar liar,
that’s when i started hearing the smoke alarm.
well i heard it quietly before then,
but i thought i put that fire out completely.
so now i’m dealing with no one respect form anyone.
favoritism like a muthafucka.
god forbid i even do something wrong on accident.
it’s a complete and utter disaster.
guess what tho?…

it has gotten my attention.
its hot,
uncomfortable,
and i can barely breathe.
its time for me to start making my escape plan.
right now,
my mind is pretty grey,
but i can find my way out with focus.

i have been focusing on what they have been doing to me.
i haven’t been focused on what i need to do.

maybe something in your life has been set on fire.
your job.
your living situation.
people you call your friends.
that guy you’re dating/fuckin’.
you.
you didn’t realize it yet,
but now you do.
maybe its time for you to really pay attention.
you are about to be really burned.
whatever it happens to be didn’t just start burning for a reason.
even though you thought you put it out before,
doesn’t mean that it isn’t festering in the background.
waiting for the right thing to happen so it can catch.
boom:

your forest is now burning to the ground.
see we don’t pay attention until the fire is really out of control.
then we wanna cry to jesus,
mary,
and joseph to rescue us before we really get engulfed.
so pay attention to what is burning in your life.
what is making you uncomfortable.
people who could potential burn you.
it may just be a sign that it maybe coming to an end soon.
…and thats okay.
put the fire out now so that “something better” is to follow.
