I Can Still Do This

There's something wrong with me, there always is
And when someone pass by, I stare with envy
This pain in my heart, this feeling named Jealousy
When I make my move, Attention is hard to miss
The gifts they gave are laughters and tease
Those always please them, yet they hardly see
The things they have done, results in tears and self-pity
But the breaking of glass will never seize
This pride I hold, that was beaten down by scars
I've made it stronger and I started to build my wall
Protecting myself, before they reach my core
Believing in myself, ignoring the ugly calls
In the end nobody can stop me from reaching the stars
Broken I may be, but I can still stand tall

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
