I am not your stepping stone

You think your better than everyone else

You think you are perfect

But in reality,

Your nowhere near perfect

 

You tend to put others down

It brings you so much joy

Your words are like knives  

Stabbing and leaving deep wounds


Well,

That all stops here

No more pain 

No more sorrow

Enough is enough

 

It’s time to take a stand

Your words won’t hurt anymore

If anything

They’re making me stronger

I ignore the hateful comments

Your ignorance makes me laugh

 

You now feel powerless

Nobody is hurt anymore

In the end you have lost

In the end I have learned and realized


 I am not your stepping stone

This poem has meaning to it. Along with myself, I feel like a lot of  young people can relate to it.
