Life By My Hands
My thoughts shape me My habits build me My choices define me
My
life will straighten out
(Hah!) My thoughts shape me My habits
build me My choices define
me My life will straighten out (Yeah!)
When I feed my mind trash,
I feel like trash Emotions are not problems—they’re signals Fear shows me
what matters—I learn from it But I let the fear of God
be my anchor Awe that steers me,
not anxiety that traps me
Anger tells me which boundaries were crossed Anxiety means I’m stuck in
the future It’s a reminder that I need to come back to
the present
Motivation may spark change
But habits will change my life
When I change my habits,
everything shifts (Hah!)
My thoughts shape me
My habits build me
My choices define me
My life will straighten out (Yeah!)
My past is a chapter,
not my whole life
I learn from it,
then stop living there
Whenever someone triggers me,
I pause
That trigger is a mirror
Showing me what’s still unhealed inside of me
The only real power I have
is me
and my choices
Take the plate off
Take the pledge—take the BFF pledge It’s simple:
My thoughts shape me
My habits build me
My choices define me
My life will straighten out
Say the pledge out loud
Let my brain register it So my heart can do what I
said out loud I say: I pledge to be nonviolent,
respect my body, and perfect the earth
My thoughts shape me
My habits build me
My choices define me
My life will straighten out
Take the pledge out loud
I pledge to be nonviolent,
respect my body, and protect the earth Make it a daily pledge
Guides you to make the right choices
That’s all
(soft, certain)
Shape me.
