Why Should It Matter

Why should it matter what others think?

All I can think about is eat and sleep....

For other people try to be

Everything they possibly could be

Then they try to say a bunch of shit

Yet they have nothing to cover it

So why should it matter what others think?

They are probably jealous

And that's the thing

They try to be cool and yell at you

Yet deep inside it  means a lot of shit to you

But you try to talk smack back...

Why should it matter if people talk shit back

Its not like they really mean it

Cuz they wont do anything about it.

Hi lady, Your anger is very

Hi lady, Your anger is very apparent and clearly expressed. I'm certainly with you when you ask, " Why should it matter what others think?" Independence of mind is really important and I've always ignored any kind of peer group pressure. The problem I have is that I'm not at all sure what you mean by 'talking shit' - is that [1] making promises they can't or won't keep? or [2] boasting about impossible achievements or targets? or [3] just spouting a load of garbage? You'll have to excuse the ignorance an old guy like me but "i think that its gay that people talk shit" is a new one on me - I've never seen 'gay' used that way before. Hey there's always new stuff for me to learn! Mike "Solstice Candles" by Meic See more of my art? please visit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7911705@N07
