“Belief”

invisible yet palpable,
a fuel for one's journey.
through criticism and condemnation
this fuel keeps on burning.
A wife, a mother, an acquaintance all the same,
their negativity will set on you
but belief they can not change.
Is it the goal or the man that causes confidence to stutter?
It is their insecurities they so silently utter.
They will not hold your hand.
They will not help you leap.
No matter their thoughts,
It is your belief to keep.
