Listen to poem:
the world can be a - s c a r y- place- full of "nasty" people braggarts I N S T I G A T O R S and fair weather friends (that hurts the most) oh the lies GOSSIP insults and judgement and m e a n words spoken the hate falls on the soul like a thousand DAGGERS and the heart "bleeds" w e e p i n g with doubt and insecurity like w a v e s on the ocean sweeping over oh the pain- then from deep within a mighty STRENGTH is rising and a p o w e r and I remember . . . I've been to the bottom from a pit of "NOTHINGNESS" I have CRAWLED on my hands and knees it seems how "many" times I forget so these n e g a t i v e CRUEL people can "never" touch me with their evil inside me dwells a strength t h e y could never FATHOM or imagine and I brush them off and RISE above and their daggers F A L L away pointless so- d e a r reader do "not" listen do "not" bother i g n o r e all nasty people- ___________________________________ June 11, 2016 Poetry/Free Verse/Rise Above It Copyright Protected, ID 799-474-0 All Rights Reserved.
