Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
It was your job to give me my inner voice - so why did you keep hammering it in all the time - "hard work always pays!"?
You said “Hard work pays Off!”
So
Growing up From the very nascent years I followed through It I kept working hard Despite things getting Complicated Difficult Toxic I sustained and persevered As much as I could Only to one day witness Hard work paying Off Better, Better for a Beautiful future
Up until
Today’s day and age When I feel all Burned out Turned to all Smoke and ashes
Who do I blame Today That I failed In understanding your Old saying
And
Who would tell ME about big Words like Self-belief and Self-esteem That are also Required!
When I was struggling Behind the thick bars Of your grades and Good marks I was struggling With critical Outside voice That said Otherwise
When all I needed Were six simple words Go Out And Play your heart out!
