Always "I"
Ecclesiastes 7:20
20 Not a single person on earth is always good and never sins.
Sin: always has “I” in the middle …
One more laid to rest … a little part of my pride
There is still enough left to kill the soul of many
Always second best with many things to hide
Yes we are bereft … as only a few cares if any
“Bonjour Tristesse” farewell … I’ll keep you close by me
When I ring the bell … please come rushing in
Then I will tell … the one I really want to be
So I can mirror the selfish “self” that I’ve always been
Living on the shadow side of deep emotions
Drinking all the tears discarded by lack of love
Then with all my might, I’ll fake some devotion
To impress my peers and the ones I’m thinking off
