Your Opinion




You like to talk.
You try and talk about me,
Break me down,
Make me feel worthless.

You want to make me feel bad?
You want to hurt me?
Keep on trying.
I don't care about your words.

You’re just one person.
You can’t hurt me.
Not with your words,
Not with your thoughts.

You try all the time
You try to break my spirits.
Every time, every single time,
You fail.

A friend of mine
Wrote something once.
“Your perception
Is not my reality.”

You think you’re better than me,
More important than me,
Have more friends than me,
That you matter more than me?

All you are,
All you’ll ever be,
Is one person.
Just a face in the crowd.

You think your opinion,
What you think about me,
Has any effect at all?
You’re wrong.

Your.
Opinion.
Doesn’t.
Matter.
