Decide For Yourself

Strange how we let the thoughts of others
Influence the way we perceive our brothers
Why can't we make our own decisions
And be more trusting in our own perception and vision
It's really alright if we fail to agree
They're entitled to their opinion, but so are we
Take a moment to peer deep inside
And interpret for yourself as you derive
At "your" thoughts on this individual who
Could possibly be an enhancement to you
Just because someone else doesn't like or agree
With this person who may or may not be
A friend in your future or maybe more
Someone you may love and adore
Someone that you might look up to
Who may teach or influence and help to improve on you
So, don't let others decide who will be
Involved in your life and you will see
You may be happier with conclusions that you consumate
With friendships for a lifetime that you alone predicate
