Don't get down
When people make fun of you
Just ignore them
Make them think they are the fools

Never let them talk down to you
About your looks
How smart you are
Your weight
Nothing

Some people can be cruel
They want you to feel like the fool
Don't let them do that to you
Because you are worth more
Than they will ever be

Just move on
If they keep buggin' you
Just let it fly
You don't need there crud
if you say something back
They think they've won

So don't get down
Just think that they aren't worth your time
You have real friends out there
You just have to look in the right places
Look for people you trust
Look for the people who truly like you for who you are
And never forget that

Cold hands means a warm heart

Too true Julie. Thanks for the advice and the awesome poem.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Julie, this is a really well written poem...and with so much truth and wisdom. You are SOOOO right, Julie. When people are treating others like you said, they just need to be ignored until they change their attitudes.
Thanks for sharing your feelings.

Love to All,
Ethel

it reminded me of a song;

Don't stop never give up
hold your head high and reach the top
bring it all back to you

This is true true and more true every day, Julie... and you expressed it very well...
When people treat you that way...
its THEIR problem...not yours...
