Falling Only To Rise
I was attacked because I left, not for doing
something wrong
Their shameful acts I can't respect yet suspected
all along
People scorned burn with hate until there's nothing
left but fleshly ash
Some can't get over their lower selves let alone
a time that's passed
I persevere through the struggles that they will see
reflected back
The mirror reveals their wrong perceptions & they
can't escape atrocious acts
I double down & circle back as I'm well rounded
like a ball
I have a ball with these games knowing I'll be
winning after all
We only fall to rise again as this is something the
stronger do
With every tumble I absorb the lesson & everything
I'm going through
After the storm are sunny days, but what are those
without the shade?
They should be proud of the storm a brewing for this
is what their weather made
My rain waters plants to help them grow through
awkward times
You can try to drop me with words & acts, but I'm
built to rise every time
I despise a hateful soul but still love them at end
of day
We're opposites at different poles just expressing
a different way
I have compassion for these poor souls as they're
lacking love of self
I am rich in the realm of spirit & this is how I share
my wealth
I give without expecting a return but have hopes
they pay it forward
They can do this by changing their ways & by helping
others move forward
