Seems Were Stuck Alone Together?

There's got to be more to this life than other peoples opinions?
We take on board as most do what others say or think...
It's human nature I guess, isn't it???
But it''s a reason so many of us sink...
We got to do the things we want to do!
Not what everyone else does just to fit in...
Living my life that way is way behind me now
But when I lived like that my life was a sin...

Exposed I was, I tell you...
Exposed to a narrative mind set
People standing on other peoples heads
Clambering to get what they could get..
No focus, no direction, no bloody principles
Just zombies who have a desire to reach the top?
Top of what I asked myself???
But these folk need to be king of the crop???

My thoughts were bludgeoned as were my beliefs...
I had lost all control of my self worth
My values were constantly being challenged
Because I'd been exposed to this life since birth
City life has stolen my identity
And for what? To achieve what I ask myself?
I'm just being stressed out by this shitty city.
Should have stayed locked away safe on my lonely shelf!

What am I trying to say here?
Why do we allow other people to influence our lives?
We worry so much about what others say or do
Like they're stabbing our backs with their knives...
Well fuck them! Fuck everybody, fuck everything!
From now on I'm making my own choices
No citizen could begin to decipher my beam of light...
Now their words to me are just back ground noises!

I choose to listen with one ear half open
The other ear will remain half closed
My eyes will fast forward past what I dont want to see
I'm proud to announce I've had bliss diagnosed!
Because I no longer want to play society games
I no longer want to be stuck in that loop
Like a hamster stuck fast in his fitness wheel
Desperate to escape his prison cell coop...

So there you are! I'm reincarnated
And I didnt even have to fucking die???
But that Scott, the Scott I used to be
Will no longer have to hide as I cry...
Deep breaths of fresh air fill my lungs with joy
In the distance I can hear Mother Nature
Shes saying to me Scott put yourself first
Smile my Son cos that's your best feature...

So smiling I am, often I laugh like a child
Because I'm proud that I finally broke free
Competitive lifestyles and all that jazz
Is no way of life for me...
Instead I'll kick off my boots and my socks
I'll allow myself to gently unwind...
I love the life I've carved out for myself
You could too, it starts with just being kind...




Love, Peace, Respect   xxxx
