When You Stop Caring

When You Stop Caring

A Poem by Austin

The fun only starts when you stop caring,

So jump around and do a crazy dance.

What others say doesn't mean a thing.

 

So go out of the box and be daring.

There's only one life, you don't get a second chance.

The fun only starts when you stop caring.

 

Life is too short to spend it staring

At your imperfections, noticable only after the millionth glance.

What others say doesn't mean a thing.

 

It's all about sharing

Happiness and joy with warm, loving hands.

The fun only starts when you stop caring.

 

It's a bad idea to let people's glaring

Sink into you like a serrated lance.

What others say doesn't mean a thing.

 

It may be hard to endure the people wearing

Down your spirit. But remember to keep a strong stance.

The fun only starts when you stop caring.

What others say doesn't mean a thing.

The flow may be a bit off, but it had to rhyme and have a certain rhyme scheme for the assignment and I tried my best :)

At your imperfections, noticable only after the millionth glance.

That was my favorite line of this poem, I could connect so much. This poem was lighthearted and had a good message, I agreed with it very much.

I really liked this poem! It really tells people to stop letting people get to you and just live life as it comes and the way you want. Happy and energetic, you've infected me with it.

Your right and i agree with you
when you say "what others say dont mean a thing"
cause thats the way it should be but the majority of us
do care what society thinks cause thats what we are taught.
So i will get up and do a crazy dance just because i dont care
what ppl think :D

Thanks for sharing your happy poem

Best wishes
