But I Cannot Make It
I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being”- Jackie Robinson. So, you want to be a human or citizen don’t let the hurt they have caused define your worth, rise above. I will not let their words push me down before I am taking advantage of my love. Don’t let them make you unhappy and give away your affection. Life lessons taught me, seek respect not perfection. You think this is the world and you are just a product of their environment, and you cannot make it. It will be inevitable that God just allows you to enjoy the moment. Stop being always available to people who are just there for you when it’s convenient for them. et me be clear, my love is unconditional but your presence in my life is not. The moment you prove that the value of me does not measure up to yourself worth, I’ll have no problem unconditionally loving the memory of you and moving on. If they walk away, let them go. If they don't value you enough to work through the hard times, they don't deserve all the good times. And you gotta read between the lines I’m searching for a way to heal all the last rhymes.

Twenty words to write Squeaks the ink inside my pen Indented fingers push harder Knuckles rock over and again Twenty words is a million too little
