Overcome

How could I overcome this?
So sad, but it is what it is.

Shame to see that only he,
Never wanted to love me.
Still don’t understand why that could be.

Being put down every day,
Wondering, what other hateful words he would say.
Why does he stay?

But my focus is on me,
Why won‘t he just leave?
The things he has done you wouldn’t believe.

I just want to be free…

To be who I want to be.
With no prejudice looking down on me,
That my triumph will be the key!
I will show him, he will see.

I will be the man…
That I have dreamed of having in my life,
Though through all the struggle and the strife,
And the blind wounds that bled with his jagged knife.

I dream of being somebody,
When I’m done with what I have to study,
And I will no longer wish to be his “buddy“.

All the tears he have made me shed,
All of the agonizing nights in bed,
Of what was to lie ahead,
Those nights were the ones I worst dread.

But the pain I have gone through,
All because of you,
Will soon be over,
Because I found my four leaf clover,

And his name is Chris…
Chris, I that have learned to dismiss,
Even when it hurts to reminisce,
I will still not be prone to his prejudice.

You couldn’t break me,
Your animosity only made me stronger,
You can’t hurt me anymore,
I won’t let you any longer.

Wow. At firs, I thought this was turning into a tragic love story with a happy ending-- Chris was your savior... and then I read your username and I felt like your words hit my heart. This is powerful, strong, courageous, and inspiring all at the same time.

I believe it would be helpful to those reading who do not know your name if you mentioned something towards the beginning. None-the-less, this is awesome.

Stay strong, Chris. You will overcome.
