Just Laugh
2/26/2015
It
is a common problem that
People
put you down for who or what you are—
But
don’t let them.
Just
laugh.
Just
laugh at their unhappiness
For
they are choosing to live in a way that causes pain
And
you do not have to let them infect your life
With
negativity.
If
you decide to argue back instead of walk away,
You
only perpetuate the cycle of hate.
If
they say, “Because you’re a girl,”
Laugh
and say—
“And
how is that a bad thing?”
If
they say “Because you’re a man,”
Laugh
and say—
“Well
I can be who I want because that doesn’t define me.”
If
they say, “Because you’re race is x,”
Laugh
and say—
“My
skin does not make me who I am.”
If
they mock you for your gender or your sexuality
Laugh
and say—
“You
don’t know true love, do you?”
If
they dislike you because you are a tourist
Laugh
and say—
“How
else would you make your money if we did not spend so much here?”
If
they mock you for religion or your lack there of
Laugh
and say—
“I
can believe what I want to
It
does not affect you.”
If
they hate you because you are fat
Laugh
and say—
“At
least I can enjoy my food,”
And
if they hate you because you are thin (unless you are anorexic which is a bad
thing)
Laugh
and say—
“It’s
not my fault I have good genes.”
If
they mock you for your clothes
Laugh
and say—
“I
dress how I deem fit.”
The
list goes on.
People
like to mock—and hate—and berate,
But
don’t let it blacken your soul—
Just
laugh,
Because
they are unhappy with themselves
And
they want you to be
Unhappy
too.
But
if you can just laugh—
If
you can throw that joy back in their face
You
can let yourself stay happy
And
maybe they will realize that they are unhappy
And
fix it.
If
not—
That
is not a problem for you to fix.
That
life is theirs,
And
if they want to be unhappy
Because
of someone else’s life—
The
choice is theirs.
Let
them.
But
your life is yours.
You
must choose to be happy
And
fight back against all the darkness—
The
negativity—
The
anger and the pain—
And
the offensive behavior.
Don’t
let it get to you.
Just
laugh
And
be happy—
And
be who you want to be—
The
choice is yours.
Make
the one that’s best for you
And
be happy—
Just
laugh.
