Anchor
I always look around
and see what is surrounding me,
a million reasons to doubt,
be sad, and to be angry.
But I won’t let it beat me,
I’m better than all of that negativity.
Everything that weighs me down
only strengthens me.
Sometimes I feel like there’s an anchor on my waist,
swimming around in circles,
never getting anyplace.
But I can’t let it hold me,
can’t let it break my pace.
I can’t let the world
get the best of me.
