Naysayers

When someone tells you, “That won’t work!” Just smile and keep it quiet. Though contradictions sure can irk, You really shouldn’t buy it. For sticking to your guns, you’ll find, Will benefit you greatly. By letting others change your mind, You’ll get messed up, innately. The trust you feel within your gut Is there for your survival. Ignore it and quite soon, a rut Will welcome your arrival. So let the naysayers say nay And do what you’ve been doing, ‘Cause no one should be led astray By anyone’s pooh-poohing.

The critic's love to flap their gums and cause us such dismay. But keep on marching to your drums not caring what they say. Peace. :)
