Rise Above It

Some people will always call you this and that, and refer to you in metaphors which can break the vocabulary wardrobe. They will say how you'll never be loved or get love, rise up, succeed, dream, find happiness, be normal.... These words will seep so deeply in you, making you believe that their color is your color. You actually become what they say... My dear, that's not how the real world actually works. Some people will love you, and others hate you. This means someone somewhere really loves, adores, and admires you for who you really are. Throw away the anti-depressants, 24 hour sad soap opera routine, sad songs, suicidal thoughts.....and anything weighing you down. Feel your inner power and sense of belonging, and levitate in Bliss, rising above it; the world. Date of Entry: 06/09/2016

I agree... We tend to put too much stock in opinions, criticisms and ideas others give to manipulate us.. A truly fine poem and adding this to my fav list as its a gem.. A7

I love the metaphor......"the vocabulary wardrobe" !! Your poem is such a lesson and an example of overcoming within one's self !! That is what rising above is all about. :)
