It’s Their Loss, Not Yours
Let your doubters and your own failures fuel your determination and ignite your creativity.
This is a world that focuses on superficiality and shallow judgments but don’t let the noise of those who only care about surface-level appearances bring you down. Your worth and talent extend far beyond what meets the eye.
There will always be people who prioritize pretty faces and provocative images over substance and depth. There are those who truly see you, who read into your words and recognize the beauty of your soul reflected in your art.
Let your doubters and your own failures fuel your determination and ignite your creativity. Show them what you are truly capable of and leave them in awe. Their lack of faith is their loss, not yours.
Nothing is ever too messed up for you to overcome, so long as you are still alive. The world needs your unique voice, your perspective, and your stories. Believe in your worth, embrace your creativity, and let your art be a beacon of inspiration and authenticity.
Superficiality
there will always
be superficial people
that only cared
about what’s
on the surface
pretty little
vivacious faces
provocative images
common sense
is never
a prerequisite
and there
will always
be prettier
and younger
replacement
ignore them
don’t ever
let their nonsense
bring you down
there will also
be genuine people
that love you
as a person of
substance
and love
your work
people who actually
read into your words
this’s where
your thought
and opinion
matters
people who
lift you to
a higher level
supporting
your arts
because
you are
irreplaceable
you are
work of art
yourself

Let’s Them Twist
bounce back,
astonish
yourself
and whoever
failed you
with what
you are
capable of
let them have a twist
in their underwear
it’s their lost
not yours

So Long You Are Still Breathing
for as long
as you are
still breathing
nothing is
too fucked up
for you
