I'M Feeling It Chapter 1: Unneeded Greed
I feel numb beneath this skin…
This skin from deep within…
I’m thin and then…
I’m fat with loath again…
Greed I feed on
Envy and so on…
I’m a shining sun…
A dusked dawn…
I don’t feel pity
I know I look shitty
I might look funny…
Expressions lost due to exposure of shame and calamity
Let the crowd feed the fire
I silently scream aloud in my desire
In the recesses of my brain,
I see you catch the I-Don’t-Care train
Fine, just leave…
I’ll sit here and grieve
But, I will man up to what I believe –
You will reap what you sow
God’s wisdom was hard to receive,
But, I’m not hard of hearing
I find His word endearing
To my eager ears…
That want to hear more…
When more was nothing more than a whisper away
It’s like the night, taking a bow to yesterday
What was I waiting for?
Impatience had been in my blood for so long
Patience was like re-learning a song
From childhood…
But, I’m good…
Maybe a tad misunderstood…
But I’m a good blood…a stick in the mud or a splinter on a wood
Let the trees and the breeze entwine in my ears of tears and fears
Let them feed on what’s left of me
Like a hippo in the water, swimming in the lake of Lonely
Greek and Roman mythology ate me up like a brownie in the hand of a child
Reborn and born in this moral world…
Immortal in the Holy Spirit…
Truly, sincerely, and in all kindliness…
I’m still reduced to this belittling distress
