Giants Fall

They said i was not good enough Good enough to waste a glance on They claimed i was not strong enough Strong enough to fight battles alongside them They assumed i was not brave enough Brave enough to face their acclaimed barriers They inferred i was not confident enough Confident enough to stand for my beliefs They presumed i was not conversant enough Conversant enough to understand the set standards of society They reckoned i was not learned enough Learned enough to take a seat in their circle They speculated i was not great enough Great enough to ignite a fire of change They concluded i was not worthy enough Worthy enough to make a difference I reflected within the walls of self and i saw something different from what they saw They thought they had crushed me enough to keep me down I arose and dusted myself and decided to walk an extra mile Because i am good enough for a second glance I am derf enough to carry the shield and fight battles I am courageous enough to knock down obstacles in my way I am self assured enough of what i believe in I am well acquainted of the set standards of society (Also i refuse to habituate myself to the limitations set by society) I am erudite enough to have my ideas heard amongst great minds (After all lessons are drawn from failed attempts, that's why learning remains an ongoing process) I am significant enough to trigger a series of modification events I am revered enough to stand out amongst a group of greats I know the value that i hold And i know there's more to me than what people think they raised giants on my path So i Knocked them down and kept moving If you ask me, i will tell you I'm reaching for the stars
