Let them speak, let them sneer,
Let their noise fade into air.
You owe no proof, no grand defense,
Your truth needs no pretense.
Some will wound, some will teach,
Some will stay beyond your reach.
Guard your heart, but keep it kind,
For peace begins within the mind.
Keep your distance from the blame,
From those who twist and play their game.
Stand tall, serene, and self-assured,
Your worth is something pure, secured.
Never explain, just let it be—
Those who love you already see.
And those who don’t will never hear,
So walk away without the fear.
Let them be unkind, while you rise,
With quiet strength and steady eyes.
For grace is not in what you say—
It’s how you choose to walk away.
