Still in motion

By
I observed you for a while
I thought you were a wild weirdo
Little did I know
You still had more steps to go


I thought you weak
Unknowing you lost all strength
while trying to be strong


I scorned your slowness
Not realizing how fast you were hurting


Still in motion
Still in motion


Still, in motion
You stay, as the earth moves
Yet still, unmoved, unshaken
by the disdains


Scorners in motion
they don't get your notion


Still in motion,
You move
You're beaten, but you fight
Not letting hurt nail you down


Previous notions
I had of you, gone
You're stronger than I thought
Better than they said
All I see in you is good


Now I'll fight with you
Tear apart for you
Defend you
They don't know your story
You do
So do I now

This piece was inspired by the way I see some people treat others. People often judge or laugh at others for being or acting a certain way, without understanding why they are like that. People have several struggles that we don't see. Situations surrounding childhood influence one's behavior and outcome. It is never enough to just assume. Assumptions may be wrong. Show love first and let love follow. I think it's important to get to know a person before you judge them. They just might be as awesome as you think you are.


Thanks for reading.

In the last 365 days, I have come to learn a lot about myself. Earlier this year till recently, I had to deal with a lot of unpleasant happenings. That’s pretty normal, right? Life is full of ups and downs. The downs this ldast year of my life ehn! No be beans. I even had a mental challenge for a while about 2 months ago (don’t ask), but I thank God for good people that SLAPPED it out of me. However, something super duper exciting happened to me early in January though. Hehe, again, don’t ask.  To foster positive thinking and to learn more about myself and make me happy, I asked 25 people (male, female, teens, young adults, close people, people I’ve never met, etc) to tell me what they like about me. I chose 25 because I’m clocking 25,lol. This is a sort of feedback and personal behavioral evaluation. What to do with w
