they decided not to listen to me
ignored my presence cruelly
I was told
I wasn’t worthy of any attention
must I say, it was a setback
brought me the days blue
many nights unusually dark
but, was I to stay so forever?
the good in me introduced me to hope
about them, I didn’t care anymore
amazingly I started to develop feathers
my aspirations gradually turned them to wings
I took my time to learn to fly
THEY were furious to see me in the sky
yet, they could do me no harm then
for I wasn’t wanting them to be my audience
I followed the path that made me believe in me
I followed the hope that gave me beauty
today, as I stood to make my speech
all of them gathered to give me honor
it didn’t matter anymore if anyone would listen
I had discovered a way much better
I started listening to my own self
