Opinions
People not liking me
Was about my worst nightmare.
Them looking at who I am,
And throwing it away.
“You’re not good enough,”
They might say.
And I dug myself into that
Deep, dark hole
That many people find themselves in.
“What a failure.”
Would make me give up
On my dreams,
My hope
Almost anything.
But, I’ve learned not to listen to those voices.
The one haunting me at night
Learned that they aren’t good enough to listen to.
But now,
“You’re not good enough,”
Just gives me the power to keep going.
To not stop until I absolutely have to.
“What a failure.”
Makes me work harder
Get faster
Better
Just to prove them wrong.
Now,
I wouldn’t say something bad to me.
Because that
Would not end well for you.
