About Me

Hello everyone! I'm Joel Palermo. I'm currently a junior now at SJSU. I'm having a great time! I'd love to meet ya! Oh, and I march to a different beat than most. Check the beat and you may just want to march with me.

I Am

I am to the least of these
uncontrolled
Yet wielding an infinite supply of gifts
Taken for granted
Unyielding
Despising the giver
My God
Despising my brothers
Those who shed light
While I drown in darkness
Those who walk on water
While I float beneath the surface

I am to the least of these
An unworthy martyr
A disease within myself
Slowly eating away at my inner soul
Leaving a hollowed man behind
Deprived of wisdom, knowledge, and fervor
Deprived of myself
Turning my back on the world
Attempting to fly
While the others dance
Attempting to be at peace
But I simply can't
