People Who Devalue Us Do Not Determine Our Value

“Some people are mad at you because you are not suffering the way they expected you to…”

You only see what your eyes want to see
But you have no idea that
I see beyond the scope of your smile!

You have a wish that
I crash during this mile of progression
But my transaction in this life is one of servitude!
The magnitude found in my purpose will not
Be thwarted by your negative comments!

It has become clear that
‘People who devalue us do not determine our value’
