Collect memories now to curate later.
Write a history without all the haters.
Tell your story as if they were all absent.
Do not let the troglodytes mar your talent.
Enrapture the world with the news you’ve arrived.
Leave off the speed bumps that your foes have contrived.
Understand…be proud of what you’ve overcome.
Yet, not including their snags will strike them dumb.
What a blow to the bullies who just serve strife…
That, they get no credits in your happy life.
Wear this interpretation like ink on skin.
You’ve built too nice a tale to let ugly in.
