Marvel At Me

Written By QuinKillin'

Marvel at Me!

I Weathered The Storm,

Training All My Life To Look

My Colonizer In His Face

While I Deface His Legacy

Questioning His Authority Like, 

"Is This Your King?!"

Marvel at Me!

Black, Queer Nerd With An Iron Heart,

Thighs Carved By Odin Himself,

Carried on The Hips of Thor To Roar

Anthems of Thunder As Quick As Silver--

Bolted Lightning Dancing Across The Sky.

Marvel At Me!

Drug Through The Hell and Back,

Been a Ghost Rider,

Born The Mark of Beast,

No Need of a Contract With The Devil,

Done So Much Heathen Shit,

The Devil Might Just Be My Daddy,

I'll Give 'Em Hell, Boy!

Take A Marvel At Me!

Given Lee Way To Stan An Icon,

I Swung Through The Thickest of Webs,

Gobbled By Goblins and

Struck By Black Venom.

Ain't No Multiverse in The Universe

That Can Take Away The Fact That


I Am Marvelous.
