If indeed you observe

If and when it’s time to complain

I must speak for myself

And call out my own name

Maybe it’s time to think?

Maybe it’s time to up my game?

A figure of speech

I’ll just make it plain

How do I grow?

How do I sustain?

What is my motivation?

What is my claim?

Am I a skeptic?

Would you think me lame?

How else can I know?

Unless my ego is tame
