Strength Poem by clifford mate

Don't pretend to care,
because i know when i pass you will just snare,
don’t take my life like Afro-cinema,
for everything i do you just stare,
break my heart if you want to,
ruin my life if find it pleasing,
play with my feelings,
dump me like potato peelings,
rise your standards to the ceiling,
but always remember strength is gained from experience,
determination will bring forth deliverance,
strong hearts do persevere,
you are making me stronger.
