The Drag People <br />Are present everywhere you go. <br />Stop being so surprised <br />They are people that you know. <br /> <br />They drag your name down <br />Penetrating on your mind. <br />They tear at your spirit <br />But they seem to do just fine. <br /> <br />They nag and talk at you <br />Breathing negatives on your health. <br />Until they blurringly convince you <br />You don't know how to help yourself. <br /> <br />They will persecute you <br />Until you're six feet underground. <br />So release and let them go <br />And decline to wear a frown. <br /> <br />Because of your good nature <br />It seems so wrong to do. <br />They will distroy your integrity <br />Nothing will be left of you. <br /> <br />So keep your head held up high <br />And be the best at all you can. <br />Don't think about the dragging toxics <br />Nor the pressures of their demands. <br /> <br />Life will make them realize <br />The way they chose to do. <br />Is their descisions for themselves <br />It just wasn't meant for you. <br /> <br />I don't doubt they love you <br />I don't doubt they care. <br />But your reality says progress <br />While others refuse to dare.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-drag-people/
