Sometimes you need to step back
Even walk away
Good things always come to an end
So they say ….
When negatives enter your life
That do not bring you joy
Step back , distance yourself
Before your soul it destroys
Perhaps take time to revaluate
Refresh, clear your mind
For life is too short for negatives
So to yourself be kind
