My life is that as it's always been

I've heard that some of you don't understand

That's okay

I don't need you to understand

I've heard that some of you as my life going one way

And I've chosen a different one

That's okay

I don't need you to tell me where to go

My life is that as it's always been

Mine.

I've heard that some of you have judged my actions

That's okay

My actions will affect myself and whom I choose

not you

What brings you happiness and peace?

When you identify the cause of these feelings do you chase after it?

I've heard that some of you have opinions

That's okay

I did not ask for them

What causes you pain and strife?

when you discover the causes do you change direction?

I've heard--

I've heard more than enough about some of you

You've had more than enough of your fill

On my life.

My life is that as it's always been

Mine.
