Am I Enough?

 

Today I didn’t go anywhere

I wallowed in the heat that strangled my home

Took a seat in the spot that I frequent and listened for the changing winds of time

 

They never arrived.

 

In fact it was more of the same

‘You Okay?’, ‘Im glad’

Empty words of intricate meaning

Convey both care and solace 

Who cares?

The rain didn’t arrive all the same.

 

Can you hear it?

Are the whistles calling your name?

Must I toot and holler like the show monkey to be worthy?

Must I grovel and beg for a chance at salvation?

 

No.

 

In my impenitence I shall know 

I will be alone in my truth

The world may pass by 

And that’s okay

‘Fore if i do this

Maybe it’ll be okay for you.
