Denial

1 Corinthians 10:13 

13 No trial has overtaken you that is not faced by others.

And God is faithful: He will not let you be tried beyond

what you are able to bear, but with the trial will also provide

a way out so that you may be able to endure it.

 

I am not what I know I am ... I can quit when I want too

My power to will is too strong ... and I have imagination

I decide my own destiny ... but why am I so helpless?

I want you guys to answer ... without any hesitation

 

You think I have it easy ... I don’t have what I want

I get no appreciation ... and I don’t like myself

People who take care of me ... never do much at all

They have me do all the chores ... and always by myself

 

On Holidays they drink around me ... and all I get is Pepsi

Some of them are like chimneys ... smoke comes out of their ears

I want to be free to get the same ... but I can’t get a job

because my health is failing ... and I live free down here
