Resilient

Stand strong and don't let your guard down
Get your point across without making a sound
Hold on tight to the hope that you've found
It will give you balance as the world spins round
Keep your smile; don't let it turn into a frown
Or else you might slip, fall, and willfully drown

 

Take others' words with a grain of salt
For sometimes their actions are hard to halt
No matter what they say it isn't your fault
You can't help that you were wrongfully taught
A tough persona is what you've always sought
But you learned that strength cannot be bought

 

Reach for the stars when they tell you that you can't
Grow straight up like an ambitious plant
You don't have to listen to their complaints and rants
Disregard their opinions and continue making your plans
When they provoke you remember that they don't understand
Indestructable and resilient you will continue to stand

 

And when they see you what you've done with your life
They'll wish they could've been a part of the ride
But it will be too late and past them you will stride
With a prideful smile and true friends by your side
They will run into the dark shadows to cower and hide
While you run the world with a new found pride

Author's Note

I do realize that this is pretty suckish. I've been on vacation and haven't written in an extremely long time so I just wrote down the first thing that came to mind. Sorry about this! Hopefully I'll get off this writer's block soon, and be able to write some good stuff, and start back on my book which I have been procrastinating horribly.

Extremely awesome! Powerful, with intense emotion and great vocabulary. A nice butter smooth flow with a perfect rhythm and excellent rhyme scheme and an altogether AMAZING piece of work.
