Who Am I?

Who am I?

I'm not Batman.
I'm no crime-fighting caped crusader
that flies to the rescue faster than 911.

Who am I?

I'm no chameleon,
no top-secret US Army stealth project.
I'm no master of disguise
yet I can disappear at will
with no invisibility cloak or hocus pocus.

Who am I?

I'm no gladiator,
no Russell Crowe.
No King of the Jews holier-than-thou messiah
that will sacrifice my life to save your ass.

I'm nobody.
    The person behind you in the grocery,
    that noisy guy beside you in church,
    the classmate you forget as soon as school's out.
I don't deserve any special treatment
because you don't really care anyway.

So who am I?

Love Is Chill

Love is chill
Love is cool
Love stays at home all weekend watching Netflix
It does not feel jealous of other people's Instagram stories
It does not post its own travels on social media
Because it does not flex
It is not racist
It does not troll
It does not take selfies and check it every five minutes for reacts
It does not mute, it does not block, it does not unfriend
It does not keep tabs or receipts
Love does not turn a blind eye to social injustice
It does not spread fake news but rejoices with the woke
It always asks for an 8-digit hexadecimal password
Always accepts cookies
It always dreams, always slays
Love is always lit, always on fire, always dank
Always the G.O.A.T. –
The Greatest of All Time
