According To You

I am crazy, I am lost, I am moody, with no self-esteem, no willpower… Scared to make choices, don’t want to take chances, I fear changes, I cling to the past, I have no future, without a plan I have no life and I don’t know what I want from life… The question is? “is this true” you see all this is according to you… Peeking through someone else’s eyes I’m quirky and funny, I have direction, I know what I want, I am happy, independent … I have dealt with my past I’m forging ahead to the future, not stuck in a rut or waiting on someone’s approval, my moods are my own if I want to cry, I cry I know who I am… Just so you know according to him, I’m everything he wants in a woman and he does not expect me to change… So tell me, whose opinion counts? Who am I with? Who did I chose?

Girl, very nice indeed. If you don't mind I like to answer those questions. Just for me God is the only opinion that counts in my book. I know I am with Him just as I am faults and all. He never judges me. I chose Him because choosing man they ley you down every single time. God never leaves you nor forsake you. LOVE THE POEM!!!!!Keep up the great work. And truly BE BLESS.......Love patricia

Sara, its about two people's opinion of the same person and how one's perception can be vastly different from the other.. Its only a pleasure :)

Wilma, is this about self-esteem or about two different people's opinion of you? The one who has the good opinion is the one that you should be with my dear for this one will surely lift you up..Keep the creative pen flowing..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work..Sara
