'You will never make it
You are too clumsy
At best you'll fake it
But fail eventually'
Did we really
Do anything
To deserve
To be put down
Discouraged
I still hear them
Everytime I dream
Calling my name
Trying to extinguish my flame
Do they know?
Decades later
It still haunts
Chokes
Freezes
Just a child
wanting to be good
They made me accept
Enough I was not
I fought
At first
But all they pointed
at
was my faults
It was the price to pay
To live in a society
That is hurting inside
And poisoning the outside
But now
I see things
For what they are
And I remember
to whisper
'You have made it
In your own way
Failing and learning
and that is succeeding'
