Dont live by the rules others set for you,



dont bend down to embrace conformity.



These days everyone is passing judgement,



But theres only One who has that authority.



When the people you trust start to slander,



and you know what they say is a bluff,



just remember that He knows you fully,



and that should be more than enough.



When people around attempt to hurt you,



when their words try to do you harm,



He is the one to protect you,



if you just allow Him to open His arms.



If, heaven forbid, you act like a human,



and they cast you out for making mistakes,



Remember the love of the Creator,



and know, unlike us, He never forsakes.



So instead of the lies and the slander,



we can choose to rise above.



If we accept each other for how He made us,



and learn to treat others with love.



Try to move past human tendencies,



dont let their angry ways be too much.



Live your life being kind to others,



and never lose the care in your touch.



When the world thinks they know your story,



Without knowing what the truth really is,



enough living by everyone's standards,



Im going to live by His.
