I am God.

“I am God.”

A saying that implies so much good

But detrimental to the thoughts.

Humbleness a virtue, glorified to them all

And want to demonize those that have the gall

To be their all.

Exodus 14 is what they try to claim

But like Sherane, I’m disdained

And considered a bane to those I cause pain.

They try leg clipping, guilt tripping, and fake pimping

To disprove everything I’ve taken and bitten.

But they can’t deny I’ve succeeded where they failed,

Now I’m comfortably sittin’.

“My selfishness is what got me here,

who the fuck I’m kiddin?”

So much potential but now bittersweet?

Is it wrong that if I take it

Its mines to keep?

“How much a Dollar really cost?”

Let me ask you that!

“Superiority Complex”

that’s what you claim when you

speak on my name

but have you asked

how much that Dollar truly cost!

The sacrifices needed to be the boss

of my life in spite of the lost!

You claim thee is narcissistic but

you’re really paraplegic

when you can’t even tell the difference

between me and the higher existence!

You call me pretentious,

but to that, you can’t even bare witness!

Ignorance!

One day, you will come to me for repentance!

“You’re insensitive, and you lack empathy...”

Say what you will

and that may be,

But just know that

I am the product of me,

of my selfishness and drive

to not know defeat.

Selfishness or success, to which I can not attest,

But since you think I don’t deserve my progress,

Let me just ask this one question:

Are you mad because you’ve failed due to your transgressions?
