Less than but Greater


 

They look at me and they think I'm am less than them but no ma'am no sir I am greater.
I live for the simple things in life. My only means are to survive. I've never hurt a soul just was a tortured soul. 
The voices in my head, the things they said. I just couldn't begin to believe them, couldn't seem normal to listen to voices right? 
That's what they say, but you have to listen to what I have to say....
Life is more than you make it, you have the God in you to, no matter what, continue to pull through. 
I don't live wrapped around what society tells me
I don't crave the extras of life, just a cool drink and let me continue without strife. 
You look down on me and say I am less than but I'm greater. 
I have a voice that speaks to me, his name is God, the other is Jesus, and then there's Spirit.... 
They speak to my heart and as long as I hear them loud and clear, society can kiss my rear.
