Thrive

I wrote this for you
but I'm hoping others like you read it 
and feel inspired 
because I'm inspired by you
I just want you to thrive 
you've had so many setbacks 
that you could've easily quit 
and what makes things worse
people rather root against you 
than root for you  
what's in it for me
seeing someone rise above hate
by believing in themselves 
working harder than ever before 
doesn't that sound amazing 
it should 
because that's what you're going to do
I just want you to thrive 
and know that you're beautiful 
even when you don't feel beautiful 
you can do this
I know you're tired
but you can do this 
so I guess I'll leave you to it
