The Life I live

 

I have lived my life by putting others needs before mine,

yet the people I always seem to help take jabs at my spirit and my soul.

There have been malicious actions and words thrown at my heart like daggers,

many of the daggers thrown have punctured my heart and have tried to snuff out the light that

illuminates inside of me.

One dagger that was thrown was by a girl that said ‘’ you are the ugliest thing I have ever seen’’,

another dagger that was thrown was when two people came up to me and said ‘’ lose some weight you fat tub of lard’’ and then proceeded to grab at me.

Those two daggers lingered inside of me for a while and I was crushed.

I decided though that those people and their daggers were not true,

I ripped the daggers from my soul but the disgusting people and their words still slither into my thoughts like serpents hunting their prey.

I have learned that there are many people that will try to bring me down in this world but I know I am not like those people,

 I know the life I live is a great one.
