People will hate ya when they see they can’t break ya, when they can’t shake ya,
so let them watch, let them whisper, let them twist your words until it pushes ya, until it lifts ya right up above their hate,
words that don’t even take.
I mean, who cares anyway, right? Why put up the fight when their words are meaningless? All it shows is their unwillingness,
unwillingness to fix themselves.
You’re just their distraction, no need to match them and their low vibration,
you just keep pushin’ forward - they’ll end up getting bored and move on to their next victim until it’s finally time for them to fix THEM.
Just forget ‘em.

The Cost
There is always a cost. Not the dramatic kind people imagine, not the cinematic sacrifice that earns applause, but the quiet, relentless toll that transformation demands. The cost begins long before you rise and continues long after you land. It threads itself through every choice, every boundary, every refusal to return to the version of yourself that once made survival look effortless.

Bloody well said!
This was extremely powerful! Loved your poem!
So powerful and just what the doctor ordered! 💖 It! Thx 4 sharing! :)))
This is such a vibe! A perfect "brush-it-off" anthem—raw, real, and empowering. Love the rhythm and the message: rise above, stay unbothered, and let them deal with their own mess. Forget ‘em indeed!😉✨
This is a good way to look at it. It does show their unwillingness to fix themselves, this way of thinking works all the time. Such a lovely reminder. I love the carefree unapologetic vibe 👌🏽👏🏽♥️
