I Am Not A Good Man

I Am Not A Good Man

Dec 31, 2025

This is poem is essentially the best answer I have planned for Judgement Day so far.


I Am Not A Good Man

I am not a good man
I am a backpacker on a trail
Blazed by a bleeding heart
Bled into a grail

I am not a good man 
I hurt when I should heal 
Limbs crack beneath my boots
I break instead of build

I am not a good man
This path is not my own
But only the uphill ruck
I am forced to march alone

I am not a good man
I have earned every thorn 
I can change like the leaves
When calm becomes storm

I am not a good man
I murder in my heart
I covet what’s not mine
I am all that is dark

I am not a good man
I am great in my own eyes 
Like every mother’s son is handsome
Like every fool believes his lies

I am not a good man 
But a hitchhiker on a road 
Taking what I can get 
Avoiding any toll

I am not a good man
Such has been written
I am what I accept
So I am what I am given

I am not a good man
I am the thief who spoke
I am Jacob under goat skin
I am Jonah on a boat

I am not a good man
I am a backpacker on a trail
Blazed by a bleeding heart
Partaking of the grail
