If The Shoe Fits

Some people seem to live their lives for show 
But often they just don't know which way to go
They take offense whenever none was ever meant
Not caring if bad behavior is to their detriment
Insecure peers judge me as if they know who I am
I am wiser than them because I know where I stand

Thank you kindly. In America, this is all I seem to be surrounded by. So often, I have insecure folks (often other women and sometimes even insecure men) twisting my words, or bashing me whenever I show enthusiasm, or point out something that everyone missed in an attempt to help people understand. By the grace of God I've learned to let them seethe and not take their hatred of my existence too personally, even if their bigotry is unpleasant for me to have to endure. Wishing you well from this side of the pond. Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
