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

Exactly!!!! That's all we can ask for. Unfortunately, there are a lot of broken ppl in this world that don't care about the things they do to others but there's also a lot of good ones out there trying to their part to make the world a better place as well. Everyone has their roles to play and jobs to do in the overall scheme of things. We have to have compassion for these individuals but at the same time they don't get a pass for the things that do. It's not up to us to judge but we can point things out so that others are more aware. Thank you for reading I appreciate your positive feedback & your work as well. Wholeness
