With My Feet On the Ground

WITH MY FEET ON THE GROUND With my feet on the ground, I looked to the stars. Darkness can steal away your soul. Like a blood thirsty beast, It sinks its teeth deep within your throat. With my feet on the ground, I looked to the stars. There was an attempt, once again. An attempt to steal my treasure chest of happiness A happiness that I acquired and caressed. With my feet on the ground I looked to the stars. There was a loud start of music. As loud as thunderbolts, I could not hear. Could not hear the unkind words of my kindred. Darkness can steal away your soul. But you see, my feet are on the ground. A ground that keeps me from altering. Unkindness from people, cannot alter my own. I was taught compassion, I was taught forgiveness. Thieves can rob you of your happiness. But you see, with my feet on the ground. A ground that keeps me from altering. Thieves never succeed, an attempt cannot alter my happiness. I was taught happiness from within, I was taught content. Music can play, roar loud like thunderbolts. But you see, with my feet soiled to the ground. A ground that keeps me from altering. Unkind words cannot trump a kind soul. I was taught understanding, I was taught endurance. My mum taught me to forgive, I have experienced a great deal of hurt in my life, by the people I care about the most. They seldom ask for forgiveness. I forgive anyway, it gets weary sometimes but I just forgive which always brings me more happiness. Happiness that I know I never want to compromise for anything in my life, nothing at all. © Herzel Poshiwa :)
