My Poem Journal

I'll Get there

You say that it's stupid

You say that I won't make it

You don't think I'm good enough

And you forbade me to pursue it

You want to know why I don't have confidence?

You want to know why I refuse to show you?

Did you ever think that maybe the reason wasn't me?

That maybe the reason was you?

When I finally want to prove to you what I can do

You put me down, You don't even help

You shove it back in my face

You turn and don't even see that I fell

You have then, once again, let me down

You showed me that I don't need, nor want your approval

You don't get to decide my future

You don't even decide if you're a part of it at all

You won't get to be there if I make it

You won't be there if I don't

I'll get there and realize that I did it on my own

And I'll know I didn't need you now, and even then, I won't
