Angelica Tao Poet Rhyme

I Shall Never Rise

I am willing to prove myself through sacrifice. 

As that is how I interpreted the kind advice.

I fear that my need for help will cause harm. 

That my limited abilities will be plowed like dirt on a farm. 

I must pretend that I am able, I must hide behind each choice.

If I am to succeed, I must bury my past in the ice. 

Through frustration, I will always be criticized. 

My innocence is taken as refusing to rise. 

Each challenge-

Feels as if my past is taking revenge. 

I have no choice but to process-

That no one cares about my nonsense.
