Become A Priority Poem by Gianluca Stival

You've just seen
how ignorance,
foolishness and
idiocy can ruin
yourself.
They've already
beaten you and
built barriers
between
what you seem to be
and what you really are.
Do not let
all that puerility
invade your inner you.
Do not face cruelty,
do not let venom take over.
Just sit, meditate
and tell yourself
to become a priority,
to become your own
deserved
hard-earned
priority.
Keep persuading your soul
that you are here
for a reason.
That's all you need
to gain oxygen: to be.
