‘Keep walking’

You're at the end of the pointed looks

To whom all the fingers point.

There's nothing worse than

Never failing to disappoint.

Not any quality you might possess

It's your shortcomings that are realized.

Your good may never be celebrated

But any bad in you will always be criticized.

It's an all-consuming weight

For with disappointment comes shame.

After all, they feel they have every right

To keep showering you with blame.

They're going to keep at it

All those snide looks and silent mocking.

When you're going through hell

All you can do, is chin up and just keep walking.
