It doesn't matter how others see me
It matters more how I see myself
Most people can't see past the rags I wear
They don't see
My spirit
My drive
My ambition
My desire to better myself and those around me
All they see is that I am a poor boy
From the wrong end of town
A no good street rat
Proving them wrong won't be easy
Many challenges and hurdles to overcome
But I plan to make it my goal
Step by step
Inch by inch
I will achieve my dreams

Great write.
Thank you
You're welcome.
Prejudice again, darkens the eyesight of the viewer. Very nicely put into poetic verse, and the solution included as well. Fortunately, some people can see beyond the veneer. A good message to this poem.
Thank you
Truly said. "...man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart--" (or something like that). Fewer will look until others' eyes. If only folk would they might begin to see their neighbors. Very beautifully rendered. Me likes. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you
Nicely done, a fine write.
