I Learned How To Walk Away Without Hate In My Heart

I learned how to say OK
Instead of giving them the satisfaction of arguing back
I learned how to take shit without flipping out
I learned to focus on the good instead of the bad in someone
I learned not to waste my energy fighting the same fights
I learned to be more sympathetic to things I can’t see
I learned how to truly forgive and be free
I learned that some people are not worth my sanity
I learned to be a neutral party instead of being involved
I learned to laugh more than cry whenever possible
To find the joy threw all the shit
I learned that staying silent brings me more peace
I learned that writing has healed the silent girl I have shoved down for so long
I learned how to walk away without hate in my heart
