D.O.P.E

When they needed me I was there

now I’m climbing up the ladder to different stares

I was always a giver but no one cared

Now I’m giving to me and that’s when the hate appeared

Often lending my talents to help those in need

Now I’m focused on what I need to succeed

Quick to give a lot of myself, indeed

Now I’m ignoring everything not meant for me to be free

I love what I do and I do it with purpose

I give my all, from the depths of me

Not just from the surface

Of course I strive to provide exceptional service

But I no longer give to those who don’t deserve it

I am proud of my accomplishments

Despite my hesitations

I haven’t given up on me in the midst of the tribulations

I push forward regardless of all the limitations

And it all started when I began to

Dismiss Other People’s Expectations
