'The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in God protects you from that. ' Proverbs 29:25 MSG
'What will people say?'
What a great way to rob yourself of your voice and authenticity!
Acting based on this sentence often ends in ruins.
This sentence will put a full stop where a comma should comfortably sit.
This short sentence takes your dreams away from you before you even dream,
It makes you endure what no one should ever endure,
It traps you effortlessly,
It even has a Ph.D. in selling you short.
Well, the more these words replay in your mind,
The more you take a backseat in your own life.
This sentence makes you shrink from your decision to take a leap of faith.
In no time, you become trapped in the prison of opinionated voices.
What will people say, you ask?
They will say whatever they have to say,
—Because it seems like they never run out—
And whatever they say doesn't and shouldn't matter.
Their two cents don't change a thing,
It doesn't change a situation or add to it,
It shouldn't have a seat at the table of your decisions,
It's mere opinions that become suggestions.
People will talk,
Whether you do what you want to do or not.
It's human nature,
It's up to you to choose what is best for you.
Be you and do you always,
Caring less about what others have to say.
Live your life to the fullest,
Pouring out all the beauty that lies within you.
