Courage

Rumor has it that I am bad.

It took away the confidence that I once had.

Rumor has it that I'll be going away.

But I'll keep my lips sealed until that very day.

Will I ever get over this mess? Yes.

Will I ever get to my dreams? Yes.

But how do I ask for approval from someone who's heard?

How do I explain my side without sounding absurd?

For all I know, I've been good to the core.

The only mistake I've done was to react to what seems wrong.

For it, I've been shun.

For that, I'm being crushed.

So now, I will only be asking for a good word or two.

I'll leave with dignity but I'll take those words with me before I do.

I'll gather all my courage to ask for I deserve it.

Then I'll go on with my life thinking how strong I've been to make it through.
