I'M Feeling It Chapter 3: Meekness Is Genius
Meekness and humility is what I need
Not this fawning, narcissistic greed
I’m eccentric, I’m a robot and a human combined…
I moved from the back of the line to the front of the line
I’m a teenager who has over a million issues
I’m blowing on a couple of my tissues
Because it’s shameful…need I share?
Would anyone just stop and care?
Care about the homeless in heart?
Care about the generous in spirit?
Why was I the victim to this depression?
Was I a temporary, jacked-up confession,
Left on a recording system that rotted in ancient times?
Am I a clock that needs fixing?
Am I a bicycle that needs fixing?
Help…
Help…
I yelp…
Yelp…
No answer.
Wait, God answers.
Or…not?
Am I losing faith?
Am I gaining hope?
Can I last this morning
Without the thought of mourning?
I’m sick of being left in the margins…
I’m sick of being you when I should be me
I’m relevant when you tell me I’m irrelevant
I’m like a butterfly, wanting to be set free
I’m an elegant elephant and you’re an arrogant ant
Fighting cancer within me, myself and I...
I close my eyes, living a nightmare of the word Die...
Warnings of cancer spread on the internet,
Getting me fed up with the government...sinking lower in regret debt
