Brand new day

Hello.

My name is Matthew.

Matthew James Vlasblom.

You elected to subscribe – maybe you didn’t know what you were in for and had cash to blow.

But honestly, this story isn’t about losing.

There’s a story here, though.

And maybe it was because of mercy, and love, and song.

Maybe I had it all along.

Today, I felt like – I feel like – I freely write,

That I feel better, after all this effort.

And maybe there’s been an angel or two,

Or an evil prescence, who,

Never got to me in the return or the suffer of the cigarette.

And maybe I gave it up before you knew,

Maybe I gave up all along, and never you.

Maybe you are here, and I am well,

And maybe, this is the time – the final, the first, and the middle, of a verse.

So maybe, I owe you, more than you know.

Because you chose, to find it, to find me, in my secret place, that isn’t a secret at all.

And though I write, and I did do it well,

I still am here, the way I am, or maybe I’ve changed.

And it’s all okay, okay?

So when you read this, find your peace, in that it didn’t happen, the way it happened, to me.

And solely, I leave you, at peace, and be.

And though the wrong parts of me wrote the best parts,

it’s hard to say where I’ll go next, if I go next at all, or interweave anything else – at starts.

And then, I finalize, hey.

Here’s the music.

And solely, soully, soulfully.

I can apologize, because,

I knew it too. You, are just a place for me, and a place to be, inside of me, my, mind, and three pieces, of broken T.

Ok, where are we?

Home? Lost? Starting fresh? Or just awake, at that hour, the first, the final, or the middle tree.

All I can say now, is thank you, bless you, and sorry.

I might’ve failed yee. I might try, to find the perfect, even yet,

but not, without a cause.

Or whatever you’re imagining was your truth, with me.

– Typing is some relief because of my computer usage being quite high this week. I’m trying to turn it into a perfect way to end the night but that means I will contemplate death and onwards because I didn’t stop at the most opportunite time. The thought changes back to time, and I lose or choose to ignore it. The internet is watching me sometimes, of course, that’s AI or whatnot, and I wish that there was some more income and growth in my life, and that the people surrounding me would be as blessed as sometimes I have felt. I am thankful for the chances I have and do take everyday to make myself into a better person, and I pray that going forward I would put my mind towards more positive interaction, calming repose, and also potentially that I will seize the future opportunities (i mean, if they’re safe for me). I know risk, change, growth and capitulization are important, and God has shown me that everyday I do more than I realize, and that means I have to choose positively and proactively as well how I will lead myself and others into a better self. 

– I can’t do everything in one day, and there’s a lot more I’ve done that I can’t even add to this list because it would be eternally endless – but I know that with the power I have, I will continue to make all the necessary choices to survive.

God makes it possible, I make it happen.

Cheers,

Matthew

P.S. I love you
