It's not me

M.R.P 2000 (Bushbuckridge)



Remind me that it's not my fight
Not my fists nor my fears
Paul, Peter, about who's greater?
The two talents I produce
Not to compare the 1 or the 5
Neither to plant or to water
But acknowledge the one who makes it grow

It's not me

About this poem

Part of the draft 2021 collection, unpublished. It speaks about the comparison of success, the hustle for success and how they don't always correlate.
