Special Distractions

Stand Out From the Rest

By Jason Ray Morton Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Do you take no for an answer when you shouldn't

Instead, make sure forgetting you is something they wouldn't

Stand your ground and take what's yours

Take their no and use it to knock down their doors

Reconcile you are the one that deserves that opportunity

Acknowledge you're worthy and great with impunity

Crash the party of their indifference

Tell them what to do when they're undecided and on the fence

Ignore the harshness and take it all on in stride

Own the day while others run and hide

Never be ashamed to win or be a distraction

About the Creator

Jason Ray Morton

Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.
