Beyond Gossip, Beyond Fear
They whisper and they judge, behind closed doors,
Assumptions draped in rumor, petty wars.
But what fuels their cruelty, if one could see,
Is a mind tangled in envy and insecurity.
Jealous hearts are not always free,
Their neural pathways warped by anxiety or BPD.
Paranoid thoughts or narcissistic pride,
Sometimes fuel the hurt they cannot hide.
If you understood the path, the tangled maze,
It softens the sting, dims the haze.
Their judgments are echoes of their internal strife,
Not a reflection of the beauty in your life.
Live fully, unburdened, untamed,
Your worth is your own, never to be claimed.
Let their projections drift like leaves on the stream,
While you move forward, chasing your dream.
Behind the rumors, assumptions, and spite,
Are human minds seeking balance and light.
And knowing this, you rise above,
Strong, untouchable, and filled with love.
