I can't stand the way
Some people are
Unable to get themselves together
Crying over everything
Dramatising their life
Tearing up at the sight of anyone unpleasant
Of course, some have real problems,
Mental or physical, perhaps both
But some of y'all?
Get up
I'm fed up
With your bullsh*t
Get up and get it together
-
There were times
My energy was like magma
Slow, unwilling to speed up
Festering like a wound
Burning good grounds
But I got up
[Whether that took minutes or weeks]
And my energy was like a storm
Quick, wanting more and more
Whirling, full of inspiration
Freezing everyone else
And now
I get up
To do something
-
If you feel alone, broken
If you think no one is with you
Remember I'm here
To pat your back
To give you a hug
And say
Get up, you, you can do it
