let them whisper
and let them speak
their untrue thoughts
against me
words cannot rain
on the purity inside
I am me and only that
something more
and nothing less
a balanced self
leads to not listening
to the whispers and words

I was teased and made fun of, following the philosophy of this poem helped me get over it.
