David Harris - Intimidation

As we wander merrily down
life’s long and winding road,
we will meet with intimidation
from people close at hand.
They will try to sour
any joys and triumphs we have
with comments of destruction,
which will wound deep.
They only say their ridicule,
to safeguard their own failings,
in not being able to do
what you can do.
