let me be the first to tell you:
not every hand is extended to help you.
so be aware of all the masks
& all the frauds trying to fool you.
some will try to break you,
be you,
& some will even jock you.
they'll smile in your face, but
when out of sight, mock you.
because in reality, they know that
they can't stop you
from being as amazing as you are destined to be.
there's a light that illuminates this world,
& you're it's epitome.
when they tried to belittle me,
I greeted their envy
with a full smile & a small side of 'friendly',
because to be happy
is the only defense needed
against the misery.
its your game
& your rules.
only you determine
if you'll lose.
& keep in mind that,
you can do it;
& you only owe yourself the proof.
when they tell you you're worthless,
in hopes that you work less
& hurt more, & hate more,
they'll watch on, & stress less.
cause your distress
is only a mimicry
of the insecurity
that they reflect.
its a reflex
to blame others for our self hate & our distress,
instead of a peek at the soul to assess,
because thats where the hurt is kept.
but they can't accept, so they project
into your mind
to hinder your grind
& deter your progress.
what they despise,
is the smile in your eyes,
& the whiff of your success.
so, despite all the pain
or how complex the concept,
rise above the confines
of your mind;
confidence will sanitize
where the doubts creep.
& when the pain becomes unbearable
to even speak
hold your head higher than
the mount. everest peak,
& don't you dare look down at the ground
for a sneak peak
at your sorrows;
or, turn your head around to look
back at the past's mistakes,
or, stretch your neck into tomorrow.
right now, is your focus,
not a past locus
or tomorrow's hocus-pocus.
only you hold the power to either
let em get you down,
or stand as tall as a tower;
because only you hold your crown, so
don't tell it fall
to the ground.
hold your head.
