CHOICES

You don't have to do anything
you don't have to stay and take the insults
of people who've never sit in the room
with greatness like you have, or people
who do not recognize your greatness
who hurl insults in the name of advice
and ignore you when they can
so as not to be schooled in the finer
arts of being a decent. human. being.
You don't... (wish I remembered what 
this word was supposed to be)
