My Plate Is Full

I can only speake for myself now, so if it don't apply [to you] let it fly. Though I'm not the only one, facing tribulation. So why want I cry....{???}..(Caused) crying not for me and I don't know WHY-Yall !!...For it seem I've run out of tear's, it seem...it's no obligation left in me. "I don't know why - I think its because of so much Pride," (and) I don't know why..! "But My Plate is Full-and I think its because of so much Pride." So I toss and turn-O'Yes I did, but still.....Lord, why...bring all [of] these burdens on Me. "Yes I did ask." "I knew I had Man-Up to the task. " (task of obesence) but still I was not afraid to____ASK(?).. There are storm's troubeling me, day after day-Yall, yes day after day, just how much is enough ? I can only speak for my- self. But it seem like, I've gained them all on my oww-nne'dd..!!! (sadly) its just the way it seem. Buut-bu-utt still my conscience has dreams...??? (Now) now...I did cry..why..I think something happen that just erasted my Pride..{!!!} "My Plate is Full..(O'Yeah)..realising it..first I had put away the Bull.." Secondly...I must humble myself {cause} that/is what brings acceptence...(then) the..Bull-lll may it blinds me from myself..My{dignity} no more. "Upon the steps..(walking) of the eastern shores.." "My Plate Is Full"
