They say they believe, that I can do whatever I put my mind to. They say they believe that truthfully. They say they believe in me.
They don't.
They don't believe in me, not fully.
They believe I can achieve the life they have mapped out for me.
The life they have handpicked because they know it is what I can achieve.
They have high standards and goals for me because they've seen me time and time again, on repeat, beat the average of what is said to be able to complete.
And yet they still,
don't,
believe in me.
I say I am going to write a book.
They say "That's a nice dream".
Here I am, I've written ten, and I could do it again.
I say I am going to leave in a year, graduate, get a degree.
They say "Yeah right".
Yeah? Just wait and see.
Their levels of belief come from what they've seen,
but they haven't seen the best of me,
someday I'll be exactly where I want to be,
and then they'll see.
They'll see just how much,
they should've believed.
