The Rumors

I hear them talking And I see them looking When they pass by they wave and smile But when I approach they are in denial Rumors by people that don’t have a life And might want mine Rumors that are stupid Especially the one about the baby Yea that one was really funny These people must not know me Because I can’t get pregnant After my summer incident I became sterile They can talk and look all they want Rumors don’t run me And they definitely don’t bother me I laugh at most of them And the rest get thrown in the trash These ignorant people can believe whateva they want Because me and God know the truth Like I said before I hear them talking And I see them looking But all they can do is talk and look Won’t step up to the plate And say it to my face These rumors that make me snap But it’s good to know that I’m thought about a lot My family is even spreading rumors too But what can I do about it I just smile and laugh at it Knowing that people will put forth So much effort to make me miserable These rumors will never end So I continue to laugh at them
