Broken Spirit
I am confused.
I thought I was meek. But, I am not.
I am not humble because my spirit is broken.
I am what one man deems, a sinner.
Not just any, but the biggest kind of sinner. I have ingested drugs into my system.
I have infused a vocabulary into my thought process which can only be considered politically correct.
But is it really right?
I am tormented within my own thoughts, laden with the burdens of a society which suffers from its own greed.
The same society which will not allow me to move ahead with my own success.
Because
I am shallow. I'm not deep enough.
I still have plenty to learn. I will learn.
I will continue to teach my findings to any listening ear I am able to grab a hold of.
