Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don’t

Every Step You Take, Someone’s Watching

No matter what you choose to do, Someone out there will judge you too.

If you’re too thin, they call you weak, If you gain weight, they love to speak.

Dress up nice, they roll their eyes, Dress too simple, they act surprised.

Work too hard, they say you brag, Take a break, they call you slack.

Speak your mind, you’re much too loud, Stay too quiet, you’re lost in crowd.

If you’re kind, they call you fake, If you fight back, it’s a mistake.

Win at life, they say you’re proud, Struggle once, they laugh out loud.

No middle ground, no way to be, That pleases all, that sets you free.

So why keep trying, why pretend? The judgment never seems to end.

Live for you, just walk your way, Their words will fade, but you will stay.

Let them talk, let them stare, What they think should be no care.

For in the end, when all is through, The only voice that counts — is you.

Thank you so much for reading. Stay cautious, stay kind, and always take care of yourself and those you trust.
