They Say [Poem]

I saw that mouthpiece that they said would never talk I saw those baby feet that they said would never walk I heard that lion that they said would never roar I’ve seen that eagle that they said would never soar I saw those wings they said would never fly I dreamt those dreams that they were going to die
I heard the voice that they said could never sing I gave the offering that they said wasn't worth a thing
I saw those eyes that they said would never see
I saw that black president that they said would never be
I heard that album that they said would be a flop
But it became platinum once the album dropped
I’m that boy that they said would never be a man
It took a while but now I finally understand
That look, regardless of what people say
The impossible is happening every single day
Now I’m following a trend that will eternally last
See if I put God first, I can never be last
I’m moving towards the future, letting go of the past
And while I’m at it, I’m having a blast
I heard the story that they said was never told
I found that treasure that’s worth a lot more than gold
I learned that lesson that they say we’d never learn
I got the respect that they said I’d never earn
I made the A that they said I’d never make
I took the risk that they said I’d never take
I’m that shot that they thought wouldn’t score
That success story despite closed doors
People say a lot of things but don’t let it phase you
Hate you behind your back, but in front they praise you
But don’t listen to what they say because it’s not true
God knew exactly what he was doing when he made you
Everybody is putting words in my ear
But when I really need them, they seem to disappear
So, excuse me for not caring what they say
I choose God’s truth over their lies any day
Look even if you’re short, make sure your standing tall
In this life, we live, make sure you give it your all
You either go all out or don’t go out at all
And when your backs against the wall Jesus is the name you call
I’m not out here trying to get people like me
I just want them to start to think like me
And be more focused on what the word of God has to say
Instead of what other people have to say
Cause I promise that more than likely
His spirit will lead them to do right like spike lee
Love me or Hate me, it’s really up to you
But I’m unapologetic about my theological views
I truly believe that there’s identity in Jesus
We’re all broken but he can fix the pieces
He gives me joy, joy like a river
And he keeps that fire burning so I never shiver
He never gives me more than I can bear
So even when I feel that life is unfair
I put my trust in the one who is always there
So, let them talk, it only falls on deaf ears
I know whose report I’ll believe and it’s not my peers
So, I’m alleviated of my fears
Cheers!
