DEEP! Well done nephew. Life can beat us down and deliver some heavy blows only Jesus knows the pain deep in our souls. Stay the course and continue to fight in Jesus name SOLDIER. Proverbs 13:12 King James Version Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

Watched/listened to this, and then your most recent song Acceptance. Appreciate your courageous vulnerability, your creative talent, and more than anything your passion for wanting to reach others who are where you are with hope that both encourages and empowers. Well done man! Keep going. Ephesians 2:10, Psalm 34:18.

Solid vid man, may I know the Title of the music Backround?

[@MattBalaneMusic]

Hello there! It’s an original composition from my friend Noah Wang, who is amazing with music!

[@hadassahtemple2794]

Ok but weed is not bad why is it in this song like weed helps a lot of people

[@MattBalaneMusic]

Oh absolutely! I definitely believe in the medicinal and psych-benefits of cannabis. My poem is more so tackling the issue of addiction. Any good thing can become harmful if not used in moderation. So weed for me has helped, but has also been extremely detrimental when I was using it to numb out from the world and not deal with my problems. Thanks for commenting. 🙏🏽
