Always Keep Your Head Up

Dear younger self,

Your future is going to be great!

But its not going to be easy

You will be discriminated against

Don’t let a few cause you to hate!

You will be ignored

Don’t stop trying to be heard!

You will not be taken seriously

Don’t you stop being serious!

You will be hated for no reason

Don’t you hate for no reason!

Your own kind will hurt you

Don’t let it stop you!

Your family will hold you back

Don’t listen to the negative!

Your so call friends will fail you

Don’t think everyone is your friend!

Your co-workers will betray you

Don’t let that affect your focus!

You will get tired and want to quit

Don’t ever tell yourself you can’t

You will ask yourself, “why me?!”

Don’t think that the world is fair

All these things will prepare you

to excel, love, impact, and influence

countless diverse individuals.

So……. hang in there and realize;

there is a greater purpose

for your pain, misery and suffering

that will affect the world around you for ages
