Caretakers or dream stealers
Teachers or destroyers
Peppy peppers or Debby downers
Which one are you?
Remember that you were a kid before?
Remember that you opened your wings and wished to soar
Remember when all those dreams you had were just ajar doors?
Until that one negative comment rocked you to your core.
So devastating that your heart , soul, dreams, and hopes were shattered on the cold floor!
Those words destroyed you
Punch, stabbed, killed, broken was your soul
And all you wanted was to be consoled
Well, what if your parents gave you the gift of discouragement?
But you wanted love and care, you wanted nourishment.
Yet all you received was punishment
There was no career in your work
They said disappointment is all that lurked.
BUT YOU REFUSED
Leaving your folks distorted and confused
Their words, their curse
It hurt you, but you've felt worse.
Your parents chose the wrong path
Children were harmed but was that the last?
You have the power, will you scorn their beloved craft?
