Do the same, act the same,
do as they once did,
but what would I truly gain?
Wouldn’t I become like them instead?
Would they do the same to me,
the things I never liked done?
Doing the same is not the way,
it only worsens day by day.
All it does is slowly change you
into someone you said
you’d never become.
Simple advice, clear and true:
be wise and answer as yourself.
If they curse, then do not curse,
remember what my parents taught.
Answer wisely, kindly, firmly,
stand up for yourself the right way.
Not with hatred, not with spite,
but with goodness and self-respect
