Save yourself
from cheap-minded people—
the kind who talk big
but think small,
who judge your climb
from the ground
they never left.
These are the ones
who throw stones
at every light they see,
because brightness
hurts their eyes.
Stay away from those
who act like they know your path
but can't even handle
their own footsteps.
Their world is tiny—
don't shrink to fit it.
Cheap minds gossip
because truth burns them,
they poke noses
because their own life
has nothing worth watching,
they belittle you
because your growth
reminds them
of everything they failed to become.
Protect your energy.
Walk past them
like a king through noise—
silent,
focused,
undefeated.
Remember this:
Not everyone around you
deserves a place beside you.
Some people
belong exactly where they are—
behind you,
barking,
while you move forward
like a lion.
