I AM (written from a prompt)

I am “most talented” when I am:
Being inspired,
I am “most likely to succeed” when I am:
Out of trouble and doing the right thing,
I am “best looking” when I am:
Always getting outside the house,
I am “class clown” when I am:
Under the influence of drugs,
I am “best dressed” when I am:
Going out,
I am “best dancer” when I am:
That’s a lie,
I am “most friendly” when I am:
Sober and when I’m out with people,
I like myself best when I am:
Sober.

    having a sober mind is the best way to go because every time we find oursleves under the influence, we make careless decisions. u sound like u make better choices or decisions sober. remain that way brother and i promise u. you’ll make it much further in life than we routes we use to taking. remain strong
