How Can You?

They say: “Stay positive and don’t let anybody’s words determine your happiness and self worth". 

But how can you? 

You ignore, 

But they just throw knives at your heart and hurt your spirit to the core.  

They say: “Stop comparing yourself to others and what they have”. 

But how can you? 

You look, but then realize what you have isn’t just enough in their eyes.
