Who gave you the authority, to pass judgement on me,
About the way that I dress, or what size I should be?
Who gave you the authority, making you right and me wrong?
Damn I've just realised, it was me all along!Well things are changing now, your authority's been revoked.
I make the decisions for me, your opinion no longer has a hold.
Let your concern be for you and let me concentrate on me.
It was never your right in the first place, this is the way it should be.Too often we allow others to pass judgement and affect how we feel. I say allow, because ultimately how they affect us, is up to us. We can't stop them from having their opinion or even making their comments, however we can stop it having any power over us whatsoever So let's take back control!
