ONE DAY I WILL

One day I will look at you who wrote me off in the eye and tell you, "see, I told you so."

One day I will look at you whose voice kept pointing at my failures, you whose ratings were always about my nothingness, you whose pieces of advice were always about the impracticability of my dreams, whose words of comfort to me were always a pointer to impossibilities and the stupidity of my dreams and how I should downsize my dreams and live in reality.
One day I will look at you who told me to dream small when I had big dreams, wou unto you when that day comes for one day I will.

One day I will look at you in the eye, you who always told me I will amount to nothing, you who always knew best what my life should be and the scope of things I can achieve and those that are off limits for a mortal like me,
One day I will look at you in the eye and tell you, "look what I have become, look what I made of the reject you downgraded, look what I made of the negativity you always built around me, see, I told you."

One day i will look at you in the eye and tell you, "see your life," I will put my hands inside my pocket so that I show you not a certain finger not that you deserve to be shown,
not that you don't deserve it for being such a jackass but simply because I am above that.
I won't so as not to compete you at your level.

One day I will look at you in the eye and remind you of these words because,
As long as am still moving, even if it is not walking or even if it is a walk that you can't make out if indeed it is a walk or lost staggering,
even if at worse I am not even walking or staggering but is in effect crawling or at worse rolling over on my belly and side and back as life tosses and turns me down this slippery slope,
as long as I am still moving,
keep quiet or if you so chose to speak, get ready for the day I will indeed tell you,
"See, I told you so," for as sure as heaven and hell, I will get there,
so my dear, better watch out as my life happens behind the scenes.
I told you so.

One day, one day I will,
Wou unto you that day.
That day I will slap back and tell you to turn the other cheek,
I will laugh at you and tell you to swallow the bitter pill,
I will step on your toes and tell you not to wince,
Fix you in the shoes I have been and tell you not to raise a finger.
I will put you in an uncomfortable position and ask you not to protest,
I will ask you to be humble and to just accept your fate,
I will tell you to not raise your voice in complain,
I will ask you to keep quiet and speak not about your priceless self dignity.

One day I will, that day I will, One day I will.
