Would love help with a title for this! [View all]

Any suggestions?
Again, it’s written as song lyrics, so there is repetition, but I may keep it this way to use as a stand-alone piece of poetry. Thoughts on that would also be appreciated! 💕🎶

Just what is your problem now
What do you want from me
You’re blaming me for all your woes
Full of rage and jealousy

What the hell is going on
And who the hell are you
Point that finger in my face
Four more point back at you

I’m not special, but certainly I try
I’m a sinner. I’m vain and sometimes lie
I’m not perfect, though I try to be
I’m not God. Don’t even play Him on TV

What exactly is your issue
That you spew names and insults
Do you think that I’m that mighty
Is this some new crazy kind of cult

You think that I’ve got super powers
Responsible for centuries of wars
You even blame me for the weather.
Tell me, did I kill the dinosaurs?

I’m not special, but certainly I try
I’m not perfect. I even curse and cry
I’m no angel, though I try to be
I’m not God. Don’t even play Him on TV

So what is your malfunction
What the hell did I do now
To make you think that your mistakes
Are all my fault somehow

I’m not that special, hard as I may try
I’m a sinner, I envy and I lie
Nobody’s perfect, your example’s plain to see
I’m not God. Don’t even play Him on TV.

Damn it all to hell and back
Have mercy, glory be
I try to walk a narrow path
But I’m not God.
Good Lord!
Don’t even play Him on TV!
