Survivor

No. Don't obey the rules of the world.
Never bow down in shame for the choices you made.
Have they walked in your shoes? No they've not.
They don't think you're good enough for them.
Yes, it's true, maybe you are not.
Never shall you be.
But know this
You survived where many others did not.
They gave up. You didn't.
You thrived.
You earned.
You built.
You learned.
And you'll keep building while they wither and die
Because they don't know how to live in deserts
Or through storms.
