Curtis Johnson Poet Free verse

Feeling It Ifl

Initially,
He gave me the feeling of equality.
Finally, the inequality was obvious.

In my eyes,
He portrayed authority and strength.
In my heart,
He was a sad symbol of weakness.
 
After giving one's best,
Expectations are high,
And excitement is the feeling.

After giving one's all,
Anticipations are expected,
And you are ready to deal.

Ready to deal with opportunity;
Ready to demonstrate your potential;
Ready to navigate toward your own destiny.

But when one's best is not enough;
And one's all does not mean qualified;
And the demographics are out of line;
And it's not worth the fight or the pout. 
It means it's time to move on and out.
Because the future associated with 
The entity is not well-suited for you.

Within a few weeks, I felt rejected again.
But because my life is not based on a feeling,
Again, I rose up to rebuild because my life is
Built on the much firmer foundation of faith.
