“Just Stop Caring About What They Say”: A Sour Saga

a poem

Underneath it all
I wanted to be liked
No matter how much
Others tried to
Impose the idea
That the only way to be happy
Is to be segmented entirely
From what others may think

I challenge that.
It’s not
That I deny or reject entirely
What others might think,
But temper what might get through
The filter,
To affect how I might
Conceptualize something
Or to
Act on something.
