IT’S POINTLESS TO BE MAD ABOUT THE SMALL STUFF
IT’S POINTLESS TO BE MAD ABOUT THINGS THAT REALLY AREN’T THAT BIG A DEAL
PEOPLE WORRYING OR GETTING MAD ABOUT HOW BAD THEY GOT IT OR HOW MUCH WORSE CAN IT GET.
I OUGHTA KNOW. I WAS SINGING THE SAME SONG.
UNTIL ONE DAY I SAW DEATH IN SOMEBODY.
I MEAN, I’M NOT SAYING THAT IN A BAD WAY OR TO BE MAKING FUN OF SOMEBODY.
IT’S BECAUSE I REALLY DID SEE DEATH IN SOMEBODY.
I RAN INTO A FRIEND WHILE DOING LAUNDRY. BUT I DIDN’T RECOGNIZE HIM.
AS HE SPOKE TO ME, I HAD TO LOOK REALLY HARD TO SEE WHO HE WAS.
WHY GO TO THAT EXTREME?
BECAUSE A YEAR AGO, HE DIDN’T LOOK THE WAY HE LOOKED ON THIS DAY.
BECAUSE YOU SEE, A YEAR AGO HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.
WE USED TO WORK AT THE HOSPITAL.
WHEN HE FOUND OUT, HE WENT OUT ON SHORT TERM.
BUT ONCE HIS DOCTOR CLEARED HIM 7 MONTHS LATER TO RETURN TO WORK, THE HOSPITAL WOULDN’T TAKE HIM BACK.
SO HE ENDED UP COLLECTING DISABILITY FROM THE GOV’MENT.
BUT NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED ME FOR THIS DAY.
HE LOOKED NOTHING LIKE I LAST SEEN HIM.
STRONG; DETERMINED; MOTIVATED; WILLING.
BUT ON THIS DAY, I SAW PAIN; ANGUISH; SUFFERING; AND YES…EVEN DEATH.
AND TO THINK I SPENT ALL MY DAYS BEING MAD BECAUSE I CAME DOWN WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.
BUT I CAN STILL LIVE LIFE.
BUT HOW CAN I WHEN I KNOW THAT SOMEONE DOESN’T HAVE LONG BEFORE THE LORD COMES FOR HIM.
I WANNA SAY “I WISH HE’D HURRY UP AND COME FOR HIM ALREADY”, BUT IS THAT THE SAME AS WISHING THEY WERE DEAD ALREADY?
I WANTED TO HOLD A CONVERSATION WITH HIM.
BUT WHAT THE HELL COULD I SAY?
JUST LOOKING AT HIM, ALL I COULD SEE WAS THE INEVITABLE.
I WANTED TO COMFORT HIM; BE HIS FRIEND.
LET HIM KNOW EVERYTHING WOULD BE ALRIGHT.
BUT WHO WOULD I BE KIDDING?
I KNOW IT WON’T BE ALRIGHT.
IT COULD BE ANY DAY.
HIS CHILDREN DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE’S GOING THROUGH, AND THEY AINT TRYING TO KNOW.
WHETHER OR NOT THERE’S A STORY BEHIND THAT IS IRRELEVANT TO ME.
BEING HE HAS NO FAMILY IN THE LOCAL AREA, HE’S MOVING TO HIS SISTER’S IN BROOKLYN
THE ONLY THING I FELT I COULD DO WAS PASS HIM MY NUMBER, AND TOLD HIM IF HE NEEDED ME TO CALL ME.
AS I WATHCED HIM DRIVE AWAY VERY SLOWLY, I CRIED LIKE A LITTLE KID.
IT’S FUNNY HOW LIFE GIVES YOU A WAKE UP CALL.
JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU GOT IT BAD, THERE IS SOMEBODY GOING THROUGH IT WORST THAN YOU.
SO WHAT’S THE LESSON FOR ME TO LEARN FROM THIS?
LIFE AIN’T OVER. JUST DIFFERENT.

Thas the realest statement right there. Sometimes we get too self-absorbed and think that what we're going thru or have gone thru was the worst thing to possibly happen when others who do have it worse than us don't do half of the complaining that we've done... And tho its not about comparing who has it the most worst or not, it does put ya situation or whateva u're dealing wif in a different perspective and realize, its not a bad as it seems... Pardon me for rambling...lol...Thanx 4 sharing this piece wif us, D....

| THANKS QUEEN AND DRIZZ. AT LEAST NOW YOU KNOW WHAT WAS TAKING ME SO LONG FOR MY PART OF THE COLLABO. I WAS TOO WRAPPED IN MY OWN SELF PITY. BUT I'M AWAKE NOW. JUST TRYING TO RE-FOCUS FROM BEING SHAKENED.

I've learned not to sweat the small stuff. Everything is not a big deal. Whenever i get in a funk about what's going on in my life, i think of one of my favorite songs, "I won't complain." So many people have it so much worse than my problems.
