Don't let peoples opinions control your life.

What they said about you can cause heartaches and strife.

But only if you let and give it permission to stay.

Guard your heart, put up walls, don't let it in today.

Many people won't like you and they never will.

You can do all you can to please them but until,

You realize they won't change no matter what you say or do.

Yes, I know it's hard to believe, but the facts are, it's true.

You are very special, a masterpiece, a one of a kind.

you could search the world over and no duplicate could you find.

Because we are so special and anointed, people will envy you and me.

They will try to tell us our faults and failures then want us to agree.

The secret to success in this situation is to keep your walls up today.

Don't let their words and snide remarks ruin your day.

Don't dwell on what they said about you, dismiss it right away.

God has given you and me a much bigger and better game to play.
