I'm tripping
Over you,
Over him,
And over her.
I'm being pushed down
By society,
By my family,
And by my own expectations.
I'm being choked
By anxiety,
By rumors,
And by your words.
I'm being discouraged
By my thoughts,
By my failures,
And by my undetermined path.
I'm finding my way
Slowly,
But surly.
Despite my set backs,
I will rise above.
I will soar.
And I will make my mark.
