*You tried to pull me down and under
Some people tried so much to spread lies
I watched in wonder and shook my head
Oh! I did because if only they knew
If only they knew who they tried to bury under
I am just like a seed and that's why I grow
Growing above every negativity and hurts
I rise, oh! I rise above every hurtful word
My head is under the water
Trust me, I am breathing fine
I get better with age like a fine wine
Every time they try to put me down, I rise
Better than a Phoenix, better than the eagles
My mind is expressive and really strong
My mind is my strongest asset
I guide and guard it away from negativity
When people try to pull you down
Understand one thing, yes, one thing
It is not about you but about them
About the battles they have to deal with
About the insecurity that has eaten deep into them
About the lack of love they feel they get
And about your life they wish they had
If you want the life that I have
You would have to listen to my failures
Get a pen and let me list out my tears too
You can't have one without having the other
You can't want the goodies then forget the bother
Deal with your insecurities and troubles
Rather than drag others down to be like you*

Situations would try to pull you down. People will always try to get under your skin and knock you off your game. That is life. There is no need to hate anyone or certain scenarios, rather, just understand:

1. It is never about you
2. If it is about you, then you must be doing something right. Keep at it.

*Thank you for your time.*
