Here’s Where I Stand On Things
Well if you ever wondered about what I think
If you’ve pondered how and why I don’t sink
Then the answers you seek are soon to follow
If you could careless then this might be hard to swallow
There seems to be a misnomer about me floating around
That the things I speak of may not be completely sound
Well I’ll be the first to stand and admit
I might be a little wild and slightly full of it
At the same time and in the same manner
I’ve done all I said there’s no need for the banter
I can’t seem to understand what’s so unbelievable
Anything can be accomplished there’s nothing unachievable
So because I’ve chosen to take a different path
Some seem not believe and display an unfair wrath
I don’t get what’s so unconceivable
Because you choose different my life is so unbelievable
Sometimes I sit back and reflect on the past
It is overwhelming and it has gone by so fast
I have lived a full life and things experienced many
There’s no reason to create falsehoods the truth is plenty
Why it’s so hard for anyone to perceive
It’s all out there for the entire world to see
If my thoughts and ways and yours aren’t the same
That gives you no reason to doubt or try and place blame
So my life and yours go in different ways
I don’t think down of you or any of your plays
I’ve done what I’ve done and do what I do
Not really sure why it seems to have such an effect on you
As I grow older I realize many of the errors in my strategy
But a closed mind would be the ultimate tragedy
So live your life and I’ll live mine
If you don’t believe well that’s just fine
There’s many ways to find out what’s real and true
Knowing that deception just doesn’t seem the thing to do
So if you find yourself with thoughts of doubt
Whether it’s about me or someone else your unsure of their clout
Remember your life is the one that you need to keep in check
Let everybody tend to their own mess and wreck
Maybe in the future with those I share I’ll be more select
And spare the doubters upon which I now reflect
Bottom line is it’s up to me
Whether I care if you or anyone else will believe
So with that in mind I say to you
Best of luck in all you do
May you open your mind and try something new
To yourself and yours may you always stay true.

I liked the tempo this was written in. My favorite line was, "There’s no reason to create falsehoods the truth is plenty", that's so true!
