_Shadows of Envy

In a world where envy reigns supreme, There are those who'll hate you, it's not a dream. They'll despise your success, your every stride, And never congratulate you, they'll hide. Their hearts consumed by jealousy's dark fire, They'll wish you failure, their greatest desire. They'll mock your dreams, your passions, your drive, And hope that you stumble, that you can't survive. But we forget, in our quest for greatness, That we need each other, to reach our fullness. We forget that together we rise, But alone, we fall, with no one to realize. In this era of hate, where love's lost its way, Even friends and family may turn away. They'll doubt your vision, your every move, And hope that you fail, that you can't improve. But still, we must rise, above their hate, And shine our light, no matter their weight. For success is not just about achieving greatness, But about the journey, the lessons, the progress. So let them hate, let them doubt and fear, For their negativity will only fuel your fire, dear. Keep pushing forward, don't let them bring you down, For you are a star, that shines in this world's crown. "Surrounded by hate, yet fueled by greatness, I rise." -Luthando●
