self-pity-party
Put me in a corner
If I dare not do your will
Dis-remember that I exist
Forget me forever and until
Put me in a corner
Throw a fit; a tantrum or two
Delete from your memory my name
Until I bow to what you want me to do
Put me in a corner
I am your puppet on a string-a-ling
A radio with mute and multi dials
To be adjusted at your will
Put me in a corner
Only God has love for me
To others I’m just a legal tolerance
That drives me near to insanity
Put me in a corner
A corner of your’ all mind
Lock the door; dash weh di key
Now my mind will never opine.
Austin G. Henry
