Why Do I Care?

Why Do I Care? belongs to the following groups:

All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Everyday Life and WMG

I want to live life as if no-one
was watching.
Why do I care what others think?
I don’t want to sit still long enough
to suffer the barbs
of judgment.
I don’t care about
what society
has to say
about me.
I do, wish,
to keep an eye
on what
society
is up to.
It’s no longer
a race to keep up
with the Jones’
It’s a quest
to stay ahead.
Have the courage to think
differently.
I’m not asking for you to be
like
me.
I wish for you to be more like yourself
and nobody else.

    It’s like you put into words what I have been thinking for a long time and couldn’t really get it down. Great writing.

    It’s all about giving space and others giving you space. Don’t look over my fence and I won’t look over yours. I don’t need your kind of our as well as you don’t need my car. The problem is that todays youth don’t know how to deal with and behave so that I don’t have to lock my door so that you won’t have to lock your either. Hay dude, this is heavy and I like the style.

    “I wish for you to be more like yourself
    and nobody else.” especially those lines!
