Marquel Patrick Poems

I wake up every morning and look my killer in his eyes
Because I know that I'm the cause of my own demise
I know better but I can't see past foolish pride
My brain said so but all my heart does is sigh
...

They say patience with others is love
Patience with your-self is hope
And patience with GOD is faith
But I have no patience with anybody
...

I alienate myself from the herd so naturally I'm seen
But as far as being heard all I can do is dream
And pray that my world isn't as bad as it seem
It's so bad that mind isn't one it's a team
...

I was born with a blind faith, but time slowly took that away
Now you have to prove to it me, before I can believe what you say
I amaze the older people by questioning whatever I may
They have the nerve to ask why; not knowing that pain made me this way
...
