I Have Made It

I have made it 
even thou there were those 

Who said

It won’t be so
couldn’t be, would never be 

Hear their calls of criticism
hear their snorts of disbelief

Saying

I can’t do this 
this that I know I need too
know I can do 
can succeed and complete.

Persecution Is Complex

 

 

 

Persecution is complex
Rules the master
And doesn’t jest.

Cobble up the past mistakes
Take them to a present place
Rectify and complete
Make them better
But be discreet.

This is what I surely need
To stop that
What brings me here
To my knees.
~ Patrice
