"Blended" 12.21.25

Double you… yeah, I’m at it again,
Mic check—one, two… mix it up like a blend.
Indica plus sativa, hybrid medical pen,
Making letters come together, it’s incredible when
The practice pays off—what you put in,
Yeah… again and again.
That’s when hopes and dreams finally come to fruition.

All that repetition, pushing through the skepticism,
Manifesting new realities I used to envision.
One correct decision—I don’t bother future-trippin’,
All we really have is today, so be patient like youre fishin’.
Don’t just jack johnson sit around waiting and wishin’
Just to realize one day all of life’s beauty you;ve been missin

Take it from me—an addict in recovery,
Took me 30 years to make this discovery.
I put my life on hold…
Instead of playin’ the cards that I was dealt.
Let the emotions that I felt, paralyze me
Guilt… shame and anxiety, isolated quietly
Always ready to flee, never learned to play the game.
Found the answer to my pain, or so I thought numbed out my brain,
Then addiction showed up and my problems stayed the same.

You see, left unaddressed, trauma lives inside of us
No change of location ever worked—man, I tried it, trust.

So let me circle back to the beginning,
All the work that I put in—I’m finally Charlie Sheen “winnin’.”
That was just a joke, for the smarter folk,
Double meanings in the smoke… every bar I spoke.

So if you take away anything from this, I would be remiss

Not to share my experience, because I know its scary shit

But if I could do it so can you and achieve a life of bliss.

You owe it to yourself to live inside the light of his

Like a mentos in a soda keep it inside youll explode bruh

Time to glow up. So suit up and show up, That’s time my flows up.
