Ignore Them

For as long as they speak truthfully of me their words suit me fine
Since this is their business and their business is no business of mine
If others in their words cause you to lose some of your self worth and lower your sense of self esteem
They have achieved what they set out to do or so it does seem
A trash talker never becomes the most popular person in the town
Ignore them when in their words they try to drag you down
These people cruel and negative in their ways sadly lack in empathy
But suppose people like they are deserve some sympathy
Some in their words on others do not know how to be kind
The inner glow is never in the dark mind
Those who put me down in their words i always choose to ignore
Seems a better way to treat them than with them trying to settle the score
The worst critic i do have is the one known as me
And one critic is enough for anyone would you not agree?
