Resilience
Location
People seek ways to criticize and hurt,
I have been pushed and shoved
Through the past and present.
Labeled for who I am and what I seem to be,
They see flaws that they create in their mind.
I have been taught to ignore and discourage
Yet it is easier said than done.
I have been criticized and hurt,
I can help those who have been pushed and shoved
And make change in this present
and difference for the future
Labeled for who I am and what I I know I can be.
I can now teach to respond and encourage
Yet it is easier said than done.
In the end we all perspire,
but at least trying will never expire.
