Ask Me My Name

You tried so long studying me, That I gave up allowing you to see anything, You treated my heart like it was a game, You analyzed me for your own personal gain, You used me for all your lessons and speeches, My life was the topic with your intellectual leeches, You took all their opinions and conformed your own take, You even had the audacity to try to figure out my spiritual name, Which by the way, you would have never guessed then, Because it's very uncommon and it was hidden from your hands, God placed a veil over me, because He saw what was going on, So He took the extra measure to protect my heart, You viewed me as unwise, and not worth your time, You allowed your own label from others to define, So I stopped speaking and then I allowed you to assume, So then maybe God would allow you to see you, My intent was pure as I was hoping yours was the same, If you didn't make it a game I would have told you my name,

And I barely ever think of my experiences with ppl as a waste of time...I always believe God has a purpose... and of course writing about them helps me to see clearly

I don't know..this was a past memory I wrote about, and I actually think this person is very good hearted but totally influenced by others, and his ego and image kind of get in the way I think..at least that's what I felt about him, but again ppl grow and hopefully he's not the same
