No matter what they say,
No matter what they do,
Always keep in mind,
They’ll never define you.

Words can often hurt,
As can actions too,
People can be mean,
Throwing all this dirt.

Keep your head held high,
Don’t be mean in turn,
Always take the high road,
A lesson to be learned.

And most of all,
My dear sweet one,
As you go through life..

The ones who know,
And love you most,
Will help you with this strife.
