Stampede

Give thanks for the courage
to be who you are,
Feel unashamed of your emotions.
Niceness is not a dirty word.

Gain strength from your vulnerabilities,
fuck those who don’t value and are
blind to your worth.

Learn from your mistakes,
If you allow yourself to be trodden on ,
Then make way for the oncoming stampede.

Lou,

can't believe you've not had any comments on this one yet!

Second stanza - brilliant...and possibly ouch!

Last stanza, I think you need to make a slight change:

Learn from your mistakes,
If you allow yourself to be trodden on,
THEN make way for the ONCOMING stampede.

Just a thought.
