Opinions
A reality to overcome
When people try,
try to tear you down;
don’t look at them,
wearing a frown.
Simply wear your
confidence stash,
to rise up and above
from the burning ash.
Give up the drama,
and all fake friends;
to surround yourself,
with all the genuine ones,
who stay true till the end.
