Stay ‘You’

You are a beautiful woman, 

with a beautiful heart.

Don’t change who you are, 

just because some people 

took you for granted, and, 

didn’t appreciate you.

Sure...they’ll tell everyone 

what you’ve done, to them.

But, they’ll fail to mention what

‘they’ did, to you, to cause it.

Don’t let that bother you...

Don’t let that change

the way you ‘LOVE’.

Be yourself, and,

ignore the negativity.

After all...

You’ve spared them some ‘humiliation’

by staying silent about your side of things.
