Feb 2017
Offers to shine are non-existent,
Even though talent and character prevails.

Trying to earn success ends up hitting a wall,
As dreams with ambitions become crushed.

Putting down your shield to meet new people,
But raise it up again as rejection strikes fiercely.

Succeeding and acceptance are desires with power,
Gaining strength to achieve aspirations of normality.

Normalizing chances for happiness encounters reality,
As imperfections in society dominates decisions.

Treat all opportunities as occurrences of extinction,
Fighting for prospects like possibilities depends on existence.
