Such a Shame: Withholding Greatness

I feel like I’m, Cheating the world Not giving It my greatness Such a shame Withholding, The blessings At birth, won Number one I’m a winner But I still lose You lose We all lose Multitudes, Not motivated But disrespected So disrespectful, That I withhold, More or less, My greatness In presence In soul No, no, no This can’t be Why won’t you Extend to me What makes you g A G… Meaning genius More or less, Greatness How could I contain this, Such a thing Or even waste this, More or less, Greatness Such a shame How dare you How could I Neglect the world, No alibi As the world bleeds, To severe to cry Standstill, The same It remains Such a shame Cheated, More or less Withheld, My greatness
