Let Them by Lana Marie
Summarize writing prompt entry

LET THEM

let them throw a tantrum that exposes who they are, 

maintain your calm behavior. You've come along this far. 

Other people's attitudes may affect the way we feel, 

but how we respond to them will display a great reveal 

We can't live life, just hurting by what others say and do, 

our response does matter, You never know who's watching you.

What kind of influence do you want, to make your mark? 

For people to remember you had the loudest bark ?

Self control a virtue sometimes stands out above the rest, 

Every test encountered gives you the chance to act your best.

Let them have their own fits. Don't let them get you down. 

It's better to stay calm, tell your anger to backdown. 

What's it going to help if someone else acts like a fool?

And you allow their behavior to let you lose your cool.

We don't have control over what other people say, 

but we have control whether we let it ruin our day.

Would you rather be happy and at peace instead of right?

Or caught up in a battle with one who likes to fight?

So what if you're left out from a gathering of so-called friends,

There's plenty of others out there that are true and won't pretend.

Learn to live your life without a single Care, 

keeping peace within, even when things seem unfair.

Being true to yourself and who you were made to be, 

will help you live this life free from captivity.

So in this final thought Many challenges will come your way,

But only WE can make the choice, how we'll react throughout our day!

LET THEM

BE YOU
