I Thought I Was Smart

The following poem was inspired by the quote “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” by Dr. Seuss I thought I was smart, I thought I was free Then I woke up realizing I wasn't me I was plastered with that of the world As my head began to spin and swirl I was just a phony, another little fake Sin had entered in because of that snake Finally I repented of every deadly sin This is one soul Satan will never win Now I'll never fit in with others Even those who claims to be sisters and brothers For the Lord has shown me what I must do To go out and serve with a heart that's true James Cottrell 8/7/2015
