You
Have
A staggering need to overpower
Be the person of the hour
With your far and your wide
Versus others’ steady ride
Convinced your setting the world on fire
With your blinding blazing pyre
You say I am pure submission
Simply because I ask permission
You say I tremble and I please
Ignorant of how to seize
the moment
You say I take the coward’s choice
Too afraid to use my voice
But, you are wrong!
I
Have
Energy within
Electricity under skin
Even though I take a number
Even though I stand in line
I am capable of thunder
Even though I take my time
So convinced you are superior
Brimming arrogance and spite
All others lowly inferiors
In the shadow of your light
But upon arrival
Devastated you will find
Many there before you
And YOU!
the one left behind
