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.
