Resilience — The Poet Sky

Our World

This world doesn't want people like me

People who were born different People who were raised differently People who look and think differently

People like me People like you People like us

They try to beat us into place Convince us that no one wants us Erase us from the narrative Hope that everyone forgets about us Then leave us to deal with the trauma All on our own

But we are not alone We are not wrong Every single person in this world is different in a million different ways Who are they to say that their ways are right and ours are wrong?

We are different We are unique We cannot be silenced We cannot be erased

Because this is our world

and we will not be forgotten

I Can Still Try

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 18:34:49 +0000

Even on the bad days when I'm struggling to go on I can still try my best to keep carrying on

It's tough to push through it to reach for my dreams but I can still keep going what else is there to do?

Sure, I might fail I might end up going backwards but other days, if I'm lucky I'll find just the right words

I can make a difference I can keep moving on Above all else I can still try

Scale the Cliffs of Ignorance

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 11:00:00 +0000

There will always be people that tell you that your dreams are wrong that you're not allowed to want something no matter how much joy it brings you

They don't care about your feelings Only in holding shut the doors to their minds Building cliffs of ignorance all around them So they will never understand

Ignore them

Keep fighting for your dreams Do it in spite of them Scale the cliffs of ignorance Exist to show them they don't decide what's right for you

And when you're standing atop the mountain beaming with joy and pride They'll be at the bottom Grumbling and groaning in their misery

Stand tall Stand proud And never let anyone else decide what dreams you're allowed to have

Fighting for My Dreams

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 11:08:05 +0000

I took a hit and at first I needed to stay down to recover

I stayed curled up crying from the pain but my tears have stopped even if the pain hasn't

I can get back up struggling to stand and look the enemy in the eye so they know I won't stay down forever

What everyone needs to understand is that I'm fighting for my dreams sometimes, I need to stay down but I will always get back up

Because I will never give up

Stronger

With your trauma you devoured my love With your narrative you silenced my voice With your self-hate you killed my self-love

With my will I cut you out With my words I revive my self-love With my wings I fly away free

Because my light is stronger than your darkness
