Keep Moving On

I walk down the road

You throw things at me

Yet I walk

You yell and scream at me

And I move on

I keep walking because I can’t stay with your anger

You give me the ugliest look

You spit

And throw your hands up

You keep shouting atrocities at me

Yet the ground I walk on is solid

I will keep walking

I will keep moving on

I will keep my self strong

And you keep following me

Keep telling my failures

You keep saying everything I’ve done that you do not agree with

Yet I will keep moving

I will keep passing it all

I will keep pushing through

And you will keep following me

When will the day come when you will stop and realize it does not affect me

That your hatred

Your anger

Your fear

Your jealousy

Your feelings of inadequacy

They are for you alone

Why do I keep walking

Why do I keep moving

I keep going because I have allowed myself to accept myself with all my hatred

With the pain that I have had

I’ve accepted myself for the ugliness that this world has given me

And what I have realized is that I am beautiful because of it

I am stronger because of it

I am me because all these things have molded me to be this

To be more

To stand here before the world and keep moving

Keep going on

Keep standing strong

When will you accept your atrocities

Your ugliness

Your full self
