Quick To Judge

To those who labeled me weak Ignorantly why do you speak? Has your pride taken you by surprise? Or is your judgment a compliment in disguise? You speak as if you know me quite well Confidently your assumptions how do you tell? Why don’t you speak of where I have prevailed? Does it make you better to say that I miserably failed? Have your insecurities left you with only desperation? If so then you need not focus on my medical complication Yes, I admit that I am not perfect but I haven’t met one who is If you are so confident can you please explain me this How do I stand in front of you with no shame this very day? If my weakness has denied me the chance to pave my way To a destination that you proudly said will never be found I suppose you haven’t heard my determination’s sound

Unfortunately

There are far too many people in this world for my liking who are quick to criticise without looking at themselves first. Perfection is boring. I enjoyed reading this. It's defiant and shows real inner strength. 'I suppose you haven’t heard my determination’s sound' Well said. Kaz x

Bosses that can say" good effort...

let's work on that." That's what i like not asses at work who say "no no loesy no good workers " If they can't say Good job they Have no business critisising. Perfect people fall apart not a little at a time, but all at once.Almost sad to watch. Grand Theme Paul. In ink, Dabbler (far from pirfect)
