Don’t waste your time,

imploding with anger,

just because they did.

To strike back with more fire,

only burns your insides instead.

Especially when you watched them melt too.

It is not easy.

Your inner voice reacts too quickly.

You want them to feel as awful as you do…

and worse.

But the fight is not worth your fuel,

to let them get to you.

Do not let them win

by stepping into the ring.

Move past the petty.

Smile, and realize alive.

They will only beyond stress you out,

fill you with a rage

that we can all do without.

Skip forward.

These small things should never matter.

Even when your downloaded,

in the social media blatter.

These small things should never attack,

unless that is all you see.

Then you hate just to hate back.

Realize alive,

move above the spite.

Its not worth your soul,

to join an imaginary fight.
