Unworthy & Late


I am unworthy and late. --- I am late to meet my fate. --- I was supposed to meet up with fate about an hour ago. Guess God had his own plans and changed the dynamic of the show. --- Fate is going to be pissed and the next time we meet it won’t be a pretty sight. --- I-I-I just can’t figure out why I’m still here I was prepared to die on that afternoon flight. My life is like a tube of heavy mascara dark and smudgy. --- But everyone wants to be in my shoes; everyone except me. --- I’m disgusted, puzzled, stuck at a cross roads. I’m looking North, East, West, and South. --- Damn I wish my faith would’ve taken me out. --- Out of my misery, I wanted to be taken out of my despair. --- Instead, I am here with another life to spare. Fate why didn’t you take me away? Take me away from this sad world full of charades and dismay. I guess in life you have to take matters into your own hands. --- I am unworthy and late. I am late on completing my task. Farewell to the bullies and everyone else that shattered my world. --- I am unworthy and late for meeting my fate. So goodbye to all because this time around I’d be damned if miss my date. .
