I Am But Me

Had an epiphany today, a realization to my dismay That I was never evil, despite all the words that I say I've always questioned the planet, trying hard to understand it Humans and Gods, Why are we here? I often ranted If I questioned God, then I must be bad, I believed it Becoming the serpent, the Devil and the hate I received it But I was never lost, just wanted to be my own boss My soul isn't the cost, my spirit can't be simply glossed I am me, gleefully accept responsibility For I am but a man trying to be a living diety My love and words have never meant any harm I just wanted to be the one to raise the alarm If our eyes are closed, we aren't legally blind If our minds are confined, then we aren't one of a kind No better than cattle, I won't be domesticated Understanding of oneself can never be underrated I think I finally made it, to the other side of the shore A castaway no more, I've opened a new door
