Slam poetry
I was told I can be mad a GD.
And to me that’s odd.
That hasn’t even been a thought
and now something that is taught
is OK.
Who am I to be mad at-
no HOW could I be mad at
what I’ve questioned to even be a reality?
And mad for what, I don’t have it in me.
The blame if it is there isn’t even blame.
Anger isn’t in the equation
because it’s frustration.
Confusion and the delusion
of where do I place it?
I carry my frustration and order it neatly on the shelf with my name on it.
I’m looking for my name
to find my shelf
because why would I place any of that on anyone else’s shelf?
I didn’t even realize GD had a shelf
but I don’t see it and it doesn’t matter to me anyway.
I’m told because of Him I have the life I do,
and to that I account the great.
But the stuff that I hate,
no that is on me it’s like my bait.
Because who would I be to place it on GDs shelf?
Yeah I know it’s not health-e rase it.
The stuff on the shelf,
delete delete delete.
My shelf is clean,
I’m balancing my pile
as I walk for awhile
to find the bin.
Knowing the situation I’m in,
isn’t always because of me,
and to blame isn’t always what I need.
There’s no end where I found a shelf that is the right one to place life’s frustrations, but know this.
Every here and then, I miss seeing the shelf empty, and I do spring cleaning.
I’ve learned it’s freeing.
To understand when I’m hearing,
“you’re allowed to be mad at GD.”
