The Courage to be Disliked

Free yourself of people’s opinions 
Let their talk not make you walk in the wrong direction
You are beyond their clutter 
Especially when they mutter about you

The courage to be disliked is necessary
You cannot always stand with the crowd
You are unique and you cannot afford to waste your potential
Because people fear your talents so
Free yourself of people’s opinions 
Let their talk not make you walk in the wrong direction
You are beyond their clutter 
Especially when they mutter about you
