Spiritual Evolution Creative energy flows through my veins Like life-sustaining elements Locking me inside my imagination Where old reality is of no relevance The prison cell where I reside Becomes my penthouse in the sky With a view so spectacular Itıll make a grown man cry Iım like a stone inside a mine Being nourished to near perfection Outgrowing my criminal aspirations And severe juvenile misconception A multi-year spiritual retreat From the fast life of the streets Pursuing peace in every aspect As I get closer to being free Embracing the struggle with open arms I allow my heart to school my brain Listening deeply to its beat I hear loveıs sweet refrain Itıs like Iıve tapped into a matrix With nothing to do but evolve I can jump as high as I can dream Without perishing from the fall I maneuver through turmoil Like a lab rat in a maze Under the influence of my sincerest instincts To discover a better way Iım a different person every day So I do have some concerns But I ainıt stressed out about it Because my change has been affirmed. -Johnny Tremain
