A Miracle

 
If you are lucky
Your mother may tell you
That you are
A wonder,
A miracle.

After she is gone
There will be
No one else.

There will be
Teachers to tell you
You are stupid.
Coaches to tell you
You are weak.
Preachers to tell you
You are sinful.
Bosses to tell you
That you are incompetent.
Men to tell you that
Your ass is too big,
Your tits not big enough.
Women to tell you
That your cock
Like your pay check
Is just too small.

No! You will never
Be good enough
For the rest of this world
But still I must tell you
With absolute certainty.
As I sit here
Naked, unemployed
Hairy, fat, and drunk
That I AM a wonder!
I AM a miracle!  
And so are you!
