It Isn’t Personal

It isn’t personal. Don’t take it so.
They don’t mean any insult or offense.
They have their own concerns – I think you know
it isn’t personal.

What you term disrespect and feel intense
about is disregard. They overflow
with prime concerns – their issues are immense.

Your gripe originates in your ego –
you’re injuring your peace and common sense.
You’re finding fault that only brings you low.
It isn’t personal.

(Roundel)
