Rise Up
November 4, 2017
Dear you
Ungrateful and Elitist
Desperate and Defeated
Anxious and Worrisome
Distraught and Feeling Numb
Valiant and Bold
Insensitive and Cold
Kind and Understanding
Assertive and Demanding
Devious and Misleading
On your knees, pleading
By yourself alone
Wandering without a home
Experienced and Wise
The only one who tries
Look deep into my eyes
Stop those pitiful cries
Don't listen to their lies
Take of that fake disguise
And Rise.

“None of us can undo what we’ve done, or relive a life already recorded. But if Professor Morris Schwartz taught me anything at all, it was this: there is no such thing as “too late” in life. He was changing until the day he said good-bye.”
