How Dare You, Girl

they want you to bleed 

they don’t want to see you doing well 

how dare you wear your confidence 

like a leather jacket 

and walk with your head held high 

how dare you need no validation from anyone 

but yourself 

because they’ll come for you 

clawing 

blood dripping from their lips

they’ll scream your name 

but their tongue cant quite pronounce it.

For some strange reason this short but powerful poem made me think automatically about DJ Khaled.. lol its a good thing though... this is a very raw and beautiful poem Kristywood.

They say misery loves company. Many don't want to see us do well. Jealousy & hate can be powerful things. Good job.
