Let Them Come
Suddenly surpassing expectations,
living up to all their hopes.
But adherence to their dictations,
plants me in the enemy's scopes.
I'm damned if I fly and damned if I fall,
I'm not sure which turn to take.
A time of need with no one to call,
win the fight or embrace the stake?
The moment comes and my choice is clear,
if it's war they want, I'll give them some.
Confront this warrior's lack of fear,
I raise my sword and let them come.

So true for so many aspects in life. Been there and done that. I'm to where I just don't give a shit what other people think of me. I'm my own person. If people want to judge me and come at me because I'm being myself then let them come. I'll shoot them down while they are at it.
