Some nights feel like a slow blues track you can’t turn off.

This isn’t a prayer. It’s a confession.

Not asking to be saved—just choosing to be real.

No preacher can save me.

No woman can hold me tight.

My sins walk beside me,

my shadow follows through.

If you hear me coming—

you better follow too.

This isn’t rebellion.

This is self-ownership.

Here’s what it means to me:

1. “No preacher can save me.”

This means only God can judge me.

No man, no pulpit, no system gets to define my worth.

Faith is personal. Redemption is between me and the One who made me.

2. “No woman can hold me tight.”

This means don’t force a version of me I’m not.

Love should be chosen—not demanded.

If we’re compatible, I’m all in.

If not, don’t try to cage my spirit or rewrite my soul.

3. “My sins walk beside me.”

This means I own my mistakes.

I don’t hide. I don’t pretend.

I’ve fallen. I’ve learned.

These are my perfect imperfections.

4. “My shadow follows through.”

This means I don’t run from my past—

but I don’t live there either.

It made me.

It doesn’t own me.

5 & 6. “If you hear me coming—you better follow too.”

This is the line in the sand.

This means I’ve warned you.

Don’t try to mold me.

Don’t try to save me.

Don’t try to clean me up for comfort.

Move with me.

Or move out of my way.

I’m not here to be fixed.

I’m here to be honest.
