Divine Timing

Come now and follow me into the depths of my apathy
You might have to burn me but somehow I think I could die happily

The man that you programmed got viruses like a computer
Why is the life that you gave me somewhere in the future

I break from these chains and I run from this dungeon like clockwork
My mother comes running in terror, won't somebody stop her

I'm so far from perfect but perfect is always beside me
I shine my own brightness with light that is actually blinding 

Come now in all of your greatness, I'm so through with hiding
You're past due but it's not my place to critique divine timing

TWO - I cannot wait to read you in 10 years, then 20, 30 because your pen is already dynamite and because, yes - the life you have in the now is to form the man you'll be behind your pen in those later years I mentioned. You have notable talent. Hear me: no one is perfect, acting perfect comes from fears, insecurities and other stinking thinking perspectives. I have trouble shutting up sometimes. You blew me away ...

Some don't seem to realize your last line about divine timing is sarcasm poetically served up. As I read, I thought it shouted of teenage misery (we none realize while a teen in misery that it is universal and timeless), then I thought of how mature the impressive talent forming rage obviously is. Then I looked at the picture. LOOK FOR PART 2

This was actually my attitude towards God at the time of writing it which is why sarcasm as it was used seems sort of out of place but I guess we can say I'm still in a teenage misery with God somehow XD

Believe it or not I stole this rhyming pattern from a Justin Bieber song that happened to be on the radio hehehehe
