What I choose to do is up to me, not you...

I do not need their judgmental stares,

Their disapproving glances and cold airs.

For I am my own person, strong and true,

And what I choose to do is up to me, not you.

So let them stare with all their might,

Their opinions don't define my life.

I'll keep on walking, head held high,

With confidence and dignity, never shy.

Their whispers may follow wherever I go,

But I won't let their negativity show.

For my path is mine alone to tread,

And I'll follow it fearlessly ahead.

So to those who judge and criticize,

I'll simply smile and roll my eyes.

For I know who I am, and that's enough,

And their approval or disapproval is merely a bluff.
