Knowing that things are said behind your back
Knowing these so-called "friends" and "good people" are bullies
Knowing that my name passes their lips with malice
Knowing that I have the power to choose: to fight back or be tolerant
Knowing that fighting for youself is not a crime
Yet also knowing that humility takes courage and strength
It eats you up
It leaves you dry
People will always find ways to be unkind
People will always find ways to play with your mind
What do I do?
What should I do?
Crawl up and cry?
Fight back?
One thing is for sure though
I am strong
I will never let the circumstances define who I am and who I'm meant to be
I will never let their vileness be my weakness
I will rise above them
I will show them
I will thrive
I will survive
