Your Loss

Whatever they think of me
I no longer pay any mind
Does it really matter in the Grand Design
Do they weild so much power as to make stars align
Or have they walked the miles in my shoes
Or put in as much painfull time
But time and time again
When they test my fortitude
I still win
Even when i bite my tongue and my
Patience wears thin
All because of not who i am but the
Spirit within
So i declare to you all who have given up on me
It really doesnt matter
For deep within i am free
To bad you threw away the time
To know the real me.
YourLoss

Just don't ever give up on yourself! Families sometimes get things so wrong but ultimately we are responsible for our own happiness. You are an emotive poet Carl.

This write was basically about family and how spite and envy ruined it all. Thanks for reading. Blessings Carl
