A Wise Choice

I have learned throughout time,
The hard and painful ways
To listen with empty ears,
To those nasty and disturbing words
That I may encounter any day
Fluttering in the air...

I cannot afford negative forces
To overshadow the peace of mind
And spirituality within me...
Walking away from boisterous events
Seems to be my best choice,
For reasoning and wisdom
Must always prevail...
