PAID MY DUES
I’ve paid my dues
when all the sweats of yesterday now speaks volume
when all my toils have laid the foundation
I now bask in smiles
I’ve paid my dues
when I wake up smiling
realizing how much I have sacrificed
just to be where I am today
I‘ve paid my dues
in the midst of youthful exuberance I bent not
focused solely on my hustles
ignoring the rhetorics of the world
I’ve paid my dues
when I gracefully walk in the midst of men
they all chorus “here he comes”
“the architect of our successes”
I’ve paid my dues
when I know grace speaks for me
an uncommon favor not everyone taps from
but it abides with me unflinchingly
