Don’t be discouraged

Sep 18, 2020

Do what you believe in

Don’t let others be discouraging,

So many out there think they know what’s good,

They will tell you that you should give it up

Telling you just to go back to your hood,

But that’s because you worry them

Because of your different approach and talent,

They’ll tell how writing is supposed to be,

They’ll say lies like you are bad at poetry,

Why would they do this?

It’s because they think,

You’re not one of them so they disrespect your ink,

They have a set belief on how it all should be,

They don’t want us coming along, shaking their tree

But don’t you dare give up

Continue and believe,

Unlike what others do, your work is unique

And to those not in their snobbish literary clique,

Your writing and poetry truly speaks,

And to the common person

You’re exactly what they seek.
