Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Scale the Cliffs of Ignorance

There will always be people
that tell you that your dreams are wrong
that you're not allowed to want something
no matter how much joy it brings you

They don't care about your feelings
Only in holding shut the doors to their minds
Building cliffs of ignorance all around them
So they will never understand

Ignore them

Keep fighting for your dreams
Do it in spite of them
Scale the cliffs of ignorance
Exist to show them they don't decide what's right for you

And when you're standing atop the mountain
beaming with joy and pride
They'll be at the bottom
Grumbling and groaning in their misery

Stand tall
Stand proud
And never let anyone else
decide what dreams you're allowed to have
