Who Cares

It took me twenty seven years to finally realize that you can't care what people think,

Because at the end of the day, they will not be the ones to help you when your boat starts to sink.

The opinions of others is only going to tear you down,

And it's not like when you fall, anyone will be there to pick you up off of the ground.

I look back and see all of the time that I let go to waste,

And all because I was worried about what people thought and taking up too much space.

I look back and see how much further I could be,

If I let everyone else's beliefs go and just focused on being me.

In the past few weeks, I have had a serious wake up call,

Because I realized that no one is going to be there to catch me when I fall.

I am the only one who can make my dreams come true,

Because if you want things to change, then you have to start with you.

People may look at you like you are crazy,

And they may try to make your vision become a little bit hazy.

They are just mad because you are going after what you want,

And you refuse to give up and let all of those dreams haunt,

You for the rest of your life because you never went after your dreams,

And you were able to do it alone, while no one was there on your team.

They all stood around waiting for it all to happen for them too,

And that is why they don't want to see good things happen for you.

You succeeded in what they were all too afraid to try,

And your dreams are living, while theirs were all left there to die.

You know that you are going to beat yourself up about it,

But you need to admit that at least you never were willing to quit.

You think about how much further you could have gotten all along,

Maybe you have been looking at the situation all wrong.

You know that everything happens for a reason,

And that it didn't happen before because it wasn't your season.

Now you know it is your time to go all in and shine,

And to gain control of everything that I know is meant to be mine.
