My views are from different a lens then yours.
My beliefs are my own, not what you told me.
My efforts are from my heart 
which is full, not half empty.

My words, are my mine own.
My deeds are from the soul, 
not from a prosperous angle.
My love is for all that is good,
it does not pick and choose.

My worth is golden, even when wounded
My opinions are my own, not yours.
My respect will shine, even without yours.

My spirit has been wounded not layed to rest.
I will still be whole, without your kindness.
My truth is not ithe same as yours.

Your words, actions and opinions,
 will no longer bring me down.
I will still love you even when your ways
are detrimental to my peace.
However, I will no longer accept 
your crude and hateful ways.

I will not be cruel.
if you can't be decent
I will not accompany you.

My Dear Friend, you are not 
better than the rest.
So when we meet, if ever again.  
Feign kindness and respect if you must.

I do not need your pretense of pride.
Do not treat me as a child. 
I will not go to my room, 
but I will walk out the door.

I love you, I just love myself more.
