Through One Ear And Out The Other

i hate people who try to put you down

the only way they know if they succeed

is if you show it some how

i have to say its hard

but heres a clue for you

let it go through one ear

and let it out the other too

dont let things bother you

it gets you no where

all you are doing

is showing that they won

and that you really care

you have to keep it inside

dont let people put you down

those people that do that

have no life themselves

they think they are all that

but they really arent

you will find out soon

that it doesnt matter

just let it go through one ear

and right out the other

A statement of truth that creates a good poem

But must admit I find it hard to do. I can't help caring about other's opinion of me, even people I don't like. Detachment is a powerful ally in this but also risks the danger of building walls against the world. cheers, Jess wishing you a Salubrious Solstice
