Do Not Be Baited Into An Irritation

Be well!
With a protection done,
Of your mind, body and soul.
And don't be afraid to tell...
Anyone disrespectful,
Where to go...
From where you dwell.
Do not be baited into an irritation.

When you have earned a life received,
That has become freed of insecurities...
Do not let it up and leave,
No!
Not even temporarily.

To wear a despondency on your sleeve,
Only seems to please those envious.
Those who are quick to express their jealousies.

Be well!
With a protection done,
Of your mind, body and soul.
And don't be afraid to tell...
Anyone disrespectful,
Where to go...
From where you dwell.
Be well and don't accept invitations to debate.
