Haters. Naysayers. Negative people. Everyone has them in their lives, and believe it or not, everyone needs them. Those folks that make life a little "harder" because they "hate" you for what you do or who you are? They are the reason success stories exist. Everyone has/had someone tell them they couldn't, or they can't, or they won't. Yet, we continually find a way to make it happen. Here is something I wrote nearly 5 years ago, figured I'd post it here for you all. Enjoy.
Limitless
You can hate
the way I live my life.
You can hate
the way I deal with my strife
You can hate
that I’m better than the best
But, just
remember—it’s always been me helping you pass life’s test.
It’s hard to
understand why people do what they do
You would think
that, along with their bodies, their minds also grew
People will
envy those with any semblance of success
Because they
themselves know their own lives are a mess
Pressure is
nothing but barometric change
No number on it
is ever out of my range
I’ll take the
weight of the world off your shoulders; I’ll pick up the slack
I’ll take the
weight and put it right above the target you put on my back
This
poem is dedicated to anyone and everyone who has been criticized for being
better, being right, or being themselves.
Keep your character, even if others do not. Life will test you, but above all else, if
you believe in your abilities, there is no limit to what is possible.
