Unrealistic goals they say,
\”You can’t make it\”; they yell,
These comments like chains hold me back,
Like thorns tear at my skin,
They sink in real deep that I drown in the thoughts of how useless I am,
I comfort myself with the thoughts of \”death\”,
Wrapped in its comfort of promising peace.
It baffles me how everyone could be so mean,
But then it hits me,
They do not know, they do not think, they do not care,
I am just another punching bag,
They curse at me so they can feel better,
They discourage me so they can feel accomplished,
My success a threat to them,
My failure a mirage of their stepping stone.
Now I know better,
Their opinion an image of their fear,
Their thoughts a reflection of their inabilities,
A war zone,
A battle field.
This is the life we live.
So you need to understand this; before the cant or shouldn\’t comes can and should.
KEEP SHINING
