Humbled Greatly

Humbled Greatly (to the point of returning back to you)

Ready or not, there you are
Ready or not, I wear this scar
It’s handsome and beautiful to me
It’s on my sweater of adversity and poverty

Letting go of envy and hatred
Letting go of jealousy and dread
Letting go of lust and temptation
Letting go of the mere frustration 

Humbled greatly
Thank me later
I pick myself up from the debris
I’m not a debator
So, don’t talk politics to me
That’s my only plea
Humbled greatly
Sarcasm rolling on the tongue in resentment and discouragement
But, I’ll encourage happy and optimistic memories of merriment…merriment…

Ready or not, here I flee
I am so extremely full of glee
I want to be frankly free
Is it a possibility? Can I get the opportunity?

Letting go of envy and hatred
Letting go of jealousy and dread
Letting go of lust and temptation
Letting go of the mere frustration 

Humbled greatly
Thank me later
I pick myself up from the debris
I’m not a debator
So, don’t talk politics to me
That’s my only plea
Humbled greatly
Sarcasm rolling on the tongue in resentment and discouragement
But, I’ll encourage happy and optimistic memories of merriment…merriment…

Letting go of envy and hatred
Letting go of jealousy and dread
Letting go of lust and temptation
Letting go of the mere frustration 

Humbled greatly
Thank me later
I pick myself up from the debris
I’m not a debator
So, don’t talk politics to me
That’s my only plea
Humbled greatly
Sarcasm rolling on the tongue in resentment and discouragement
But, I’ll encourage happy and optimistic memories of merriment…merriment…

Dishearten the heartless comments made
Parade in compassionate bliss without spreading hate
Love till your heart gives out — let’s have a trade
With my racing thoughts, with my racing soul in this race towards His gate

Letting go of envy and hatred
Letting go of jealousy and dread
Letting go of lust and temptation
Letting go of the mere frustration 

Humbled greatly
Until it aims your direction
I’m trying my hardest to earn your affection
Heal this impaired iniquity
Possibly, I’m losing my mind honestly
