Justine Chillemi Poet Free verse

Let Them

Let them think they know me,
even if they don’t.
Let them judge me
for the things they know nothing about.
Let them talk
and speak foolishly
on things they don’t know the facts about.
If they are going to judge,
give them a reason to judge—
live for God.
Let them see that liars lose.
Let them see
what they don’t know.
God is on my side.
They can think what they want,
but when they see me prosper
in the ways of the Lord—
When they see that the judgment
they thought I deserved
never comes—
They will know
God is with me.
He has all authority
over us
and everything in my life.
So let the evil follow me,
because my God
will turn it away.
Let them talk,
and let them judge.
There is only One
who defines who I am,
who orders my steps
and guides me in His ways.
He is the only One
who has a say—
the only voice
that matters above all else.
So let the haters hate.
Let the liars lie.
Let them judge
as the world does.
Because my King
will protect me
from the evil
they try to place on me.
The lies they tell
will all unravel
when God shows them
He is with me
through it all.
So let the evil follow me—
Because my King
has the final say.
