Poetry: Difficult people

You'll find them almost everywhere you go
the ones who seem to constantly annoy
who'll take away your sense of peace and joy
replacing it with anger, dread and woe

They niggle at you 'til you overflow
with strong emotions that reflect their own
regardless of the tolerance you've shown
their thoughtlessness will cause your angst to grow

There's one way to avoid an argument
don't let difficult people draw you in
meet all their aggravations with a grin
choose to be calm and free from discontent

When careless words conspire to bring you down
relax, it's easier to smile than frown

    For some people, they live with frowns;
