Lighting My Path

Friendly people, backstab in the dark
Notice their demeanor
They smile, they sweet-talk you, they implore your confidence
Yet they pull the rug out from under you
They are for themselves first
Let them go, let them take the kudos

You are here to rise above
The hatred, the competition, the me first syndrome
You are here to light the path
Light the way
To ascension
Be gracious
Be kind
Be open

For your light will shine

Brighter than the North Star
