I.

I am just not a soul in search of my life’s end,
I am more,
And my soul has my body as it’s friend,
Yet, it needs more.

I am not what I succeed to do,
I am not what I crave,
I am not what I am meant to,
Nor confines me my grave.
I am not the pain I feel,
It merely defines me,
And designated not to me is glee,
Yet ecstasy finds me.
I am not what this world needs,
Nor what you require,
But on me this world feeds,
I am this world’s desire.
Not to me are sung songs of praise,
Nor am I made king,
And neither would I request to raise
To this, me, so do not bring.
I am alone in myself,
But I find company within,
I find such solace nowhere else,
Than in that person beneath my skin.
Entourages are beyond my reach
In a world of their own
We all forgo the practice than preach
Of the Romans to be in Rome.
Shed the rime and lose the soul,
Shed the soul for bodily death,
The outdoors are but too cold,
In myself is warmth in every breath.
I am not the word of books I read,
But they inspire,
And art is but my feed, my creed,
No caste to me comes much higher.
I don’t see myself as long as the world does,
Reflection an illusion,
This person stares back at me, I am above,
Myself at peace from this confusion.
I never call out my name as much as you,
Unless I am the Lordship,
But simple am I, the things I do,
Satisfaction yearning, born through hardship.
Define me not I pray,
Nor cage me with these words,
As much as you a body of clay,
But not as much my soul that lurks.
​

 

I am not the pain I feel,
It merely defines me

This had me worked up...

I am not what this world needs,
Nor what you require,
But on me this world feeds,
I am this world’s desire.

This had me choking back tears...

I am not the word of books I read,
But they inspire,
And art is but my feed, my creed,
No caste to me comes much higher.

This fucking crushed me...

10/10...That's all that needs to be said.
