To All That Doubt

There is something to be said,
How you seem to have misread.

Misread..... what it is exactly that you think I am,

Maybe how you thought I’d give a damn.

You stifle your own fears and place them on me,

You blame them on my break with the rules of society.

You tell me I am not doing enough,

That I am making excuses…..

But....excuses for what

I get your fear; I get your resistance to my choices and goals

But I don’t expect you to get it, Dear

We have been life type-casted into two very different roles.

So just stand aback, be bewildered and perplexed.

I promise you, my path is a warranted choice, not some heinous vex

I am actually great as of late

If you really took the time to look at me

Then I think you would finally see

The person you fear for and sometimes pity

Actually pities you, and the light in me that you are not able to see

So next time you want to judge

Exactly what it is that you deem is your expertise to stand higher than

Remember I am stronger than you........ in the fact that I am absolutely confident in what I do, and who I am.

So keep your judgmental eyes off the axis that is paralleled with me

And point them inward, and let your own insecurities finally be freed
