A Poem by taylorrose

my daddy use to say what will u be when ur old
im going to be doctor
daddy looked and said u will never make it
so the girl believed him and she gave up
years later he asked agian only this time he was drunk what will u be when ur old
im be a vet and he looked at her and said u will be a pis port one
she believed him and then one day he asked agian
she was 12 she looked at him and said im be like u dad
he looked at her confused and said u will never be as good as me
and agian she believed him everyword
then 14 got her first boyfriend
daddy looked at her and said what u going to be when ur old
she looked at him and very serious said im get the hell outta here
daddy looked at her and said u will never make it past these doors
and she believed him till the day they where gone
her teacher asked what u want outta life
she looked at the teacher and said nothing i will not make it
the teacher confused walked away
then came the day she woke up with words in her head like people talking to her
and her momma asked what u going to be u need a future
the girl turned and said im be a poet im write for those who cant
the mom looked at her and said and u be the best
she looked at her and said does daddy have a say
her mom looked at her and sad its ur life live it and till this day
taylor rose waltemeyer never letsanything stop her from her true dream

There's no better vindication than success. You will always have those who try and hold you down and sometimes you'll be surprised who it is. Just rise up and show them you are a star!
