What You Think of Me

what you think of me is none of my business
I’m not going to change your mind 
or have any need to try
I will live my life as I desire
as long as my intentions are to
believe in Jesus and love as my guide
I will survive
I don’t live in fear
of your expectations or approval
what a great feeling it is to live free
of others thoughts of me 
my life belongs to me
so live your life 
as though it’s the only one
you will ever have
with joy in your heart
