Let Me Think

When other people think of me What thoughts of me do they perceive Is my persona welcoming And what impression do I leave Do I meet with their approval Do they agree with what I say When they stop and think about me Is it in a pleasant way Do they think that I am someone That they would want to be their friend Are they always glad to see me Or do sometimes my words offend I guess it's really not important What about me they recall Because the truth is I don't know How much they think of me at all
