When false becomes sincere


Words of false encouragement.

Like sweet kindnesses given from pretentious lips.

They linger over hunched shoulders of those working their fingers to the bone.

Sinister hopes of failure.

Sharp verbal knives that are meant to slowly go in for the kill.

Countered only by confidence.

Standing tall.

Nothing can cause a fall.

Just try to stop success from being achieved.

Never giving up.

Stand proud and move foreward.

Words of false encouragement

Becomes words of sincere challenge.

Ignite success.
