Cross To Bear

So he had a cross to bear, Who doesn't? I need to ask. For opinions all to share, Their true selves not to mask. And under such weight to lift, One and all we make our way; As if to the world it's our gift, Like we've important things to say. For heard I have from the many, Opinions different and the same, But who to follow I won't any, Upon my path I will remain. For I've my own cross to bear Upon this path in yards or meters; And like the rest I'm apt to share - Don't follow friggin' leaders!
