Let Them Judge You

Let Them Judge You When you stand up and speak for the things you believe, Or you show what you feel; wear your heart on your sleeve. When your thoughts and opinions don’t follow the crowd, And you’re brutally honest and say it out loud… Let them judge you. When you work extra hours for no extra pay, To ensure the job’s done by the end of the day. When you cover a colleague who’s often off sick, Or tolerate bosses who get on your wick… Let them judge you. When you finally snap cos it’s all got too tough, And you throw in the towel and shout, “I’ve had enough!” When you storm off and leave everyone in a daze, Muttering and commenting about your odd ways… Let them judge you. Let them judge and opinionate, gossip and label. Let them do everything better than you, if they’re able. Let them build you up, put you down, doubt your ability. Let them chatter and natter with puerile hostility… Let them judge you. You know who you are, for greater or lesser. No need to retort or to be the aggressor. Their thoughts, words and deeds will judge them in turn. They are feeble, and immature and not your concern.
