Unmighty (A Poem/Song By Def Kel)

Published 2024-01-26

I wrote this on 1/22/24. It was written more as a song than a poem, but hopefully you can still follow the rhyme scheme.

Lyrics below:

For the first time I feel my life might be limited,
I was suicidal but now I don't wanna think of it,
'Cuz I'm on the brink of it,
Staring in the face,
Of the Grim Reaper and his empty gaze.
Hair is on my face like I'm Riker,
But I'm no commander, life is on a timer,
Music's a reminder,
Of all of time that I've wasted,
Looking at the turkey because I will never baste it,
Love, I will never make it,
I have been awakened,
Like an old gorilla, Damon,
Looking in the mirror knowing I will never make it,
To a sky that's clearer than the ones the gods are making,
And by the gods I mean the government,
Oops I'm uncovering,
Secrets that weren't meant to be revealed,
Got so many scars that will never ever heal
And there won't be any cars I will get behind the wheel of;
Make sure you take advice from the incubus,
If you ever hear it on the nights when you're thinking of,
Taking your own life with a knife, never pick it up,
Put that nigga down on the ground like you're Zimmerman,
I don't give a fuck about your Timberlands,
Nikes,
But I'd give a suck to all the women here, bite me,
Never made a ruckus with a tomboy, dykey,
Lesbians among us get the message Come find me;
Cuz I'm nothing without something to love me,
I am just a puppet hanging from your lime tree;
On a string I'm your bling untie me,
Falling like a Muppet into nothing Unmighty.
If you got a problem come fight me,
Cuz I'm like Robin got a black belt, not in karate,
Talking 'bout the lump on my body, rob me
of everything I have til I'm walking, zombie,
Even the gods have wronged me,
Yeah they did me dirty like Dominic, did his papi,
Of so many masterpieces I could be the author,
But I'm 'bout to rot to pieces gangrene goblin.
If I ever hit the club, I would get it poppin'
But I see the setting sun, on the horizon,
By the time I'm thirty one, showing signs of stoppin'
And when the clock strikes one, I'll be out of rockin'
