D*******

You must feel that the world is so cruel

It treats you like dirt

A non-entity

A nobody with nothing to offer.

People mock

Behind your back

And to your face

Hurting you, crushing you.

But,

You will show them.

You will succeed

With you head held high.

You've so much to offer;

Beauty, kindness, joy

And abilities in abundance.

Soon,

They will be jealous

As you can look down

From a loftier position

Not with laughing and scorn,

But, with sadness and pride.

Because,

You are somebody,

A very important

Valuable person.

Let them see!

Let them see!
