You. You. And You, Again.
Comparison.
Steals and kills.
Literally.
Pilfering time
Along with the
Ability to appreciate
All you've been given
To work with
Build on
Share.
⠀
It will beguile you
Suck you in
Spin you round
On so many revolutions
Per second, minute, hour
That knowing
Whether you're coming
Or going
Will be the least
Of your problems.
Because
As easily as
You are
Gobbled up
You will be
Regurgitated
Spat out
Leaving you
Dazed
Confused
Conflicted
Lying
Gnarled and spent
In a combustible heap
Of nothingness
Eventually realising
That it was all
To no end.
⠀
Deep down inside
You are the
Very same person
From before
Wannabeism
Stole your joy.
Character traits
Idiosyncrasies
Family
IQ
Wealth
Job title
Background...
Intact
After the Joneses –
Regardless of
How
Why
Or even if
They helped you
Trip yourself up -
Have moved on.
⠀
As slogans go
BE ALL YOU CAN BE
Is up there
With the best of them.
But always
Base that
On what is innate
Never on what
Looks good
On someone else
Worse still
What you think
Other people
Think
Will look good
On you.
⠀
Be all you can be
According to the
Blueprint
Of your life
In Christ.
