Poetry: Loneliness

Making It






I made it

I never thought I would

But I hid that from myself

I told myself "yes I can"

Everyone telling me I was crazy

That I would do what I had to do

But I did

And I made it on my own




Tonight I will drink to my success

And all that said I could make it

Won't be here tonight

I had to let them go

I didn't want to say "I told you so"

Even though I said

What they said was impossible




Success can be lonely

When the friends you thought you had

Suddenly aren't your friends anymore

Then you realize that you are stronger

Then you ever thought you could be
