How to Ignore People<\/h1>\n

a poem by Lara Mirzoyan (teen)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It sounds easy, but it’s hard to do.<\/p>\n

How can one ignore a person that takes life<\/p>\n

from you.<\/p>\n

They talk behind your back, you pretend<\/p>\n

you don’t know.<\/p>\n

You talk to them with a smile, bringing<\/p>\n

your confidence down low.<\/p>\n

You think in a way that they’re human,<\/p>\n

they breathe.<\/p>\n

You can’t just ignore them, turn your<\/p>\n

back and leave.<\/p>\n

They did it to you, but you can’t do the same.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to ignore one, without<\/p>\n

dropping your name.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is an unedited work by 16-year-old Lara Mirzoyan, written during the Teen Writing Workshop on April 5, 2014.<\/p>\n
