In one ear out the other

You can say anything you want

you can talk about me

you can start rumors

but I know the truth

 

Nothing you say is true

it's all lies

I love that I'm on your mind

all the time

 

You must love me

because my name is always

in your mouth

It makes me happy

 

Because anything you say

goes in one ear and out the other

I don't care what you say

because it's nothing but lies anyway

I like poetry with good wisdom. Better to laugh at the naysayers in a life. Leave them off balance. I like the actions of the person in the poem. Gain strength instead of sadness. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

This poem definitely has courage and strength melted into every word you weave. And you weave them quite beautifully. Simple yet to the core in a matter of seconds. Your words are golden and beautiful. People can lie, but that doesn't mean that they can take who you actually are. Just because they paint the wrong picture, doesn't me the the real picture is gone. That's sort of what I feel in this along with standing tall and keeping your head up no matter what. Well done. :)

The simplicity of this thought makes it oddly profound. I liked the pattern and construction and the fact you did it in a prose style instead of making it struggle with rhyme. I truly liked this.
