forced

i need a hope
a hope that in spite of a gloomy, harried, and harassing world in which we are forced to outmaneuver others
i can still be light-hearted, spirited, buoyant, and ingenuous.


i have never been so hurt
the reality really is cruel
selfishness
revengeful
shadiness
all at once

people just seem to want to make their lives or other peoples lives miserable for their own pleasures


but you know what?
i will not let anyone defeat me
some people are only meant to be the by-passers in your life
and it's up to you to decide
no one else.
