They May But They Won't

They may use you abuse you slap you kick you shoot you stab you curse you mock you choke you tear you and at times, defeat you in that time a n d time alone They may do all this because they know you can reach the heights, the impossible, that they can only dream of but they won't ever destroy you. You know when to be a tempest and when to be tranquil You know when to be a flicker and when to be a flame When to shake the earth and to sprout they may put so much energy to see you on your knees, vulnerable and weak, but as long as you continue to rise to your feet, they will be blinded by the light of your glory.

Time

Notes: Feeling a lil optimistic now. You know, I can say that there are ALOT
of people I can list now that really want to see me fail, friend and family.
Shame but at least I know who I can and can't trust. I'm on that level of
consciousness now. This is a poem dedicated to them.
To let them see me down is a victory to them.
But it'll always be hollow because I will have that strength
to get back up again.

If anyone is in need of more fire to their flame, I hope this poem is at least a drop of fuel / a piece of wood.

Be back soon!
