Think For Yourself
The opinion people have of you is one that's out of reach,
only ever accessible through the chosen act of speech,
many people follow crowds through ideas crowds teach,
many will not self access allowing facts to cease.
The search for safety through fitting in leaves the mind blinded,
and it takes courage to disagree and be more open minded,
but I have found it's not the path I walk as I never find it,
I think about things for myself and then end up one sided,
but does it mean I'm wrong
to not blindly go along
I think it makes me strong
alone where I belong
