Opinions
What people say is all that matters,
If it deprecates me personally,
My level of self-esteem hits the floor and scatters.
If they approve of me I feel great,
If they don't, I'm not worth knowing,
at least that's the way I see it at any rate.
Opinions are what hit me at the heart,
The only way to prevent this from happening,
Is not to let it start.
They should appreciate me for being me,
not for who they think I should act like,
but for the person I want to be.
If I let it get to me, my world might end,
by ignoring their derogatory comments,
I can overcome whatever lies around the bend.
I refuse to let them ruin my life,
and I won't back down,
and I will get up after every brunt and strife.
Their words will never hurt me,
and I will succeed at whatever I want to do,
even though they don't want me to be me.
In the end I will hold a great career,
and I will find it ironic,
that their antagonizing opinions are what got me here.
