Some say I’m too good.
Some say I’m not strong.
Some say I should be more.
But I say they are wrong.

Some say I should take risks.
Some say I should stop focusing.
Some ask me to do bad doings.
But I say they are wrong.

Some say I’m too smart.
Some say I’m too sensitive.
Some say I’m not bad enough.
But I say they are wrong.

I say they need to do right.
I say they will get harmed.
I say their decisions will affect them.
But they say I am wrong.
