Here's to the People
By: Abra Seelig

Here’s to all the people,
the ones who scorned me
and told me that

I’m nobody.

Here’s to all the people,
the ones who riticuled me
and told me that

I’m ugly.

Here’s to all the people,
the ones that taunted me
and told me that

I’m stupid.

Here’s to all of you,
because
I’m not stupid
I’m not ugly
I am somebody

Here’s to all of you,
I did not succeed in spite of you
but because of you.

I made it!

Today is a gift....
That is why they call it

This brings such mixed emotions! Because 1, it touches my heart, as I know those words can really hurt.  2, because you're strong enough to let it carry you to better things!

BRAVO and a big WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!

You go get em! That's an excellent attitude, and you already have succeeded!  I applause you, for it's not an easy thing to do.

I love this one, I really do. This one really touches my heart!!!

I know not what the future holds,
but I know Who holds the future.

Way to go.  People like the ones you talk about are meaningless indaviduals, who, once we realize that what they think means nothing, can be passed by without a second thought.
