People can hate you
When you firmly show
Your anger.
My Earth’s purpose
is not to be abused
and blindly follow.
People envy you for
Your ability to show
Your authenticity.
My existence in life
is not solely and only
as a people pleaser.
People don’t like you
When you bring forth
Your honesty.
My Earth’s purpose
Is not to achieve
Perfectionism.
People are jealous of
Your decision to show
Your courage.
My existence in life
Is not to always hide
My inadequacies.
My Earth’s purpose
Is to help and build
This planet positively.
People, with creativity,
I will just simply
Be me.
