I ain't!!
No, I ain't a saint nor a devil
Am just a speck in this tiny little riddle
The universe so vast and wild
And am only a dot unseen but can't hide
God can see me through and through
His ears can hear my conscience true
Guilty of many an undone crimes
For which forgiveness is always mine
If any soul I have ever hurt by mistake or else
I sincerely seek forgiveness with tears rolling down my innocent cheeks
Although pink and healthy but have many marks and scars unhealthy
The experiences of life have indented them deep over my pretty face
Making me look like a somber, stoic philosopher and sage
But I truly ain't any, no philosopher nor sage filled with piety
Just a grain of sand in this huge existential land of life and death
I am but a travelling soul, moving from one level up to another on the next zone
I've many a words to inscribe and still a voice within compelling me to write
Sharing feelings blocked within the magmatic chambers burning
The vents aren't loose and the plugs aren't fixed right
For many a sporadic write shall be read but with half hearted delight
I ain't any poet with worth a million or a paltry dime
But a dainty little woman, sitting in darkness of lighted well
Brimming with hope and positivity to spill it enthusiastically
With the specks and grains of my kind yet different in many ways
For all are but a built in piece, in this life's cut out of huge jig saw puzzled wreathe
A crown to wear for humanity, and I to breathe
But sorry to say, I ain't no poet, no saint, nor wisely sage to stay.
