Not For Them

People gossiped

About me,

Unsure

I smile 

And ignore.

People stared

At me,

Unsure 

Again I smile

And ignore.

I’ve been

Gossiped about

And stared at

The best of me.

But this 

Wasn’t that,

It was about 

The worst 

Of me 

I questioned 

‘What do they even

Know about me?’

Nothing

But I know

I’m the best 

For myself

Not for them.
