Civilization will be your biggest critic,
Casting judgement on character,
Causing the shield to go up.

Personal attacks will come from strangers,
Harmful opinions come through the workplace,
And you will be stunned by loved ones.

Hearing those comments which scar,
And seeing those ****** impressions that disapprove,
Actions which can deplete self-esteem.

People’s negative perception is meaningless,
As long as you are happy with yourself,
Forming a stance that nobody can break.
