Living in the World

I tell myself that I don't care.
Why should the opinions of others affect me?
It is my own thoughts that matter
I have to live with my own conscience.

Do I truly know what they think
Or am I simply being paranoid?
Why let my fear of others dictate my actions?
Why let them spoil my fun?

I tell myself that I must live in the world,
That I must not let the cares of the world become mine.
I have different values to the world
and so I must be separated from them.

I tell myself this but I do not believe it.
It is so hard to ignore the looks,
The comments designed to bring me down.
So I remind myself of my values and ideals
And continue on my way.
