I paid attention when I didn't get the invite.

I paid attention when I didn't get a thank you.

I paid attention when I didn't get the apology.

I paid attention when a room would go silent when I entered.

I paid attention when folks believed lies about me and never asked me.

I paid attention when they didn't show up for me.

I paid attention when my important life events didn't even get a congratulatory phone call or text.

I paid attention to the disrespect and yes I took it personal.

So now I rarely leave my bubble, my space and I choose my peace every time.

If I make it to an event I'm invited to consider it a blessing.

I raised the bar for who has the pleasure to be around MY SPIRIT.

Because I have a good one.

Done fighting spirits that were created to take me off course...
