I Feel It

Shit, this might be it.  

We'll see. 


After dawn, 

the morning comes

to shine bright light 

upon your door's front.


Some dorks might say,

"What kinda shit is this?" 

and they'd be right, 

but they can suck it.


I could've said, 

'light shines so bright

after morn's dawn,' but 

then I'd be bound


by Hell's law 

to follow up 


with some drivel

like, "like Baby's breath

on your front lawn,"

(or some other spittle.)


[Bonus rhyme, eh!]


So, forgive me, but

I'm not doing all that.

Here's what I think, 

and let's leave it at that.


I did not run

from life's mistakes

instead I've done

whatever it takes


to do what's right

and just and fair...

all qualities found

in derrieres...


Although I am

misunderstood, 

it sure made sense

in my postal redbook.


I'm breaking free 

'cuz my time has come

I can't believe

what (in-the-world!) I've done.


I've felt the burn

of a thousand suns

as they descended from

searing breath of mgmt.


I used to commute

three hours a day

to carry among gunshots

for an 8-hour day.


You think I'm lying

but I'm really not,

I can't believe

I didn't get shot.


I wish I could

be a Postie's Man, 

for what it entails

defies my travails.


I'm just The Man

because of a plan

to swallow the shit 

and sidestep the demands.


I played the long game, 

five-year sin my hand...

traveling all over

this beautiful land.


I ne'er sought to

miss play dates

'cuz missin' the fam

will always frustrate.


I did the do

what you have to

do, play the game

and remain sane.


That'd be a lie, 

I must confess, 

'cuz my fam's best, 

but I digress.


How'er I just

wanna say,

"My wife is right, 

and so are the kids,"


So you can suck it

if you don't like it 

that I drive so slow

and walk so fast


to deliver mail

hear and their...

it's been fun

I had a blast.


I can't believe 

the miracles that,

that, I achieved

both far and near.


From strutting here

 and swaying there, 

I've finally found 

my sense of where.


I ultimately did

what I had to do

to get close to family 

who justly understood.
