Do not let them drag you to the floor.
Do not let them break you to pieces, pull you in and beat you down.





You are stronger than that.



Let not the crowds absorb you.

Let not the hatred consume you.


Let not the abuse rattle over your bones and torment you.





You, are stronger than that.



Let not the hunger throttle your being.





Let not the swine mold you so.
And LET NOT the jealous hurt you.

Let not the beaten path be your destination, for it is broken.




You, are stronger than that.


Let not the corrosion of the minds of the plenty corrupt you.
Lest you become the corrupt.


Let not the pressure of the earth below seep into your mind
Like a summer brook on a cool July morning, it flows all to conspicuously




You, are stronger than that.


Let not the ABUSE destroy you, and it will




Unless you discover that



You,





You are stronger than that.
