there are those that are left behind,
while others move ahead, by being unkind
the ones that are left back, are ones who should be on top
but life isn’t fair, as they try to climb the ladder, they are forced to stop.
social acceptance is hard at best
its hard to be made fun of, feel like something less.
out of all the people they are the ones made of steel
around others ugly words, they have built a shield
no, life isn’t fair, we know this to be true,
the most important thing, is to look in the mirror and like you.
Absolutely wonderful Samantha❣️
This is a battle I have everyday, liking yourself can be so difficult when you have had years of being told you amount to nothing. each day is a step in the right direction, and writing helps to put perspective and find who i really am, thanks for writing such a thought provoking piece.
