How To Escape The Ones That Hold You Down

Jamie LurayInspired

She no longer Could see the joy the child would But squinted and pushed harder For the goal impossible to achieve.

Dozens of eyes Demanded more than she could handle And it didn't take long For them to brake her dreams.

She no longer Wanted to even try For they always pulled her down And dragged her through the dirt.

Dozens of eyes But why did she care When no matter how hard she tried They made sure she'd always fail?

She no longer Let them hold her down While they make her just like them And it wasn't long, before she stood again.
