Today!
But I remember how my yesterdays were spent.
Getting dirty looks from you.
And receiving your resentment.
I guess it is alright,
If you treat me today…
With respect and politeness.
But my wounds and scars,
You will never see anyway.
Since the life I have lived…
Had nothing to do with you in my way!
You know why?
Because any tears I had to cry…
I’ve never relied on you to help me dry them.
You made it known a long time ago,
Any obstacles I had on my path…
You were one of the ones too happy,
To put some there.
Hoping they would last.
Unaware…
I was being prepared,
To climb mountains.
And the molehills you constructed…
Were just test to strengthen my resolve.
I reach for peaks to conquer.
I already know who prefers to dwell in valleys!
And more Sunlight is what I wish to see.
Believe it or not…
That is the destiny for me I desire to reach!
Perhaps it is okay…
For you to decide I am okay,
Today!
However…
I am not relying upon your decisions.
Or am I wishing to impress,
To gain your approval for my success or happiness.
I ‘am’ going to climb,
THAT mountain!
