Call me a coward if you like,
it matters not;
but I’ll walk away from any situation
that leads me to anger;
and I have no desire to argue;
so I’ll just walk away,
‘cause all I want is harmony.
I’ll walk away from thoughts
that threaten my peace of mind,
my self-regard, my ideals,
my integrity and my self-esteem.
The more I walk away
from toxic folks who poison my spirit,
the more I love the sound
of my feet walking away.
The more I walk away
when they want to put me down,
the healthier and more joyful my life becomes.
The more I walk away
when they try to stifle my dreams;
the lesser the drama in my life.
So I’ll just walk away
from things that are meant
to injure my eminence,
whether real or perceived.
I won’t try to explain myself.
I won’t care whether they understand
or not.
I’ll just walk away!
