A wise man once told me

That the only opinion that matters

Is your own.

That at the end of the day

You only have yourself to answer to.

If only those words were

As easy to live by

As they are to say.

Sometimes I don't give a damn

But other times I care too much.

It's hard finding balance,

Don't ignore the opinions of others

You may learn from their mistakes.

But don't take everything they say

To heart, think for yourself.

Because you are left with

Only yourself to answer to,

But the questions are those of many others.
