So Why Do You Worry Poem by Francis Duggan

You have never harmed anyone in any way
So why do you worry of what others of you do say
Suppose the need in us to be admired is a human thing
We like it when others our praises do sing
When nice things of us are said a boost to our self esteem
Our need to be loved in our nature it would seem
You may be one of the nicest people in the town
But always a few to verbally put you down
Show some a flowering garden they only see decay
They are born to see life in a negative way
Some people in their ways are so very small
To them there is no such a thing as a fair go for all
By your reaction to their negativity a weakness in you they do find
Best to ignore the comments of the negative kind.
