The Bricks They Shall Throw By: Monica Renata You started building your castle Started building from the floor Bricks are piled before your feet Yet they keep throwing more Surrounded by your enemies Who disguised themselves as friends On and On you shall keep building Hoping one day this pain will end Constant jokes are about you They are calling you out your name You want to leave this place You are very much ashamed But in your instance of sorrow Your castle walls shall grow And soon you shall stand in a fortress Made up of what others decided to throw Stronger than what stood before Each brick gave a little more strength Those words hurt you deeply But inside you found your inner strength Beautiful and lovely So much stronger than you were before Just continue to build towards your dreams daily Despite the bricks that others may throw “Never let what others say deter you from your dreams!! Take their negative comments and turn it into motivation for you to move forward!” -Monica Renata
