You gotta stop caring about what others think of you

Let them think things that aren't true, it doesn't matter

You gotta stop caring about what others say about you

Let them say whatever the heck they want, it's meaningless

You gotta stop caring about the ones who couldn't care less about you

Let them become distant memories never to cross your mind again

You gotta stop wasting time on the ones who don't give you their time

Let them become a barely visible speck on the timeline of your life

When are you gonna let go of all the nasty things they've said and done

When are you gonna say that you have had enough of them

When are you gonna break away from the chains of their judgment

When are you gonna say you're done and walk the heck away

Surrender your feelings of betrayal and anger and bitterness

Push out of your mind the lies and gossip and judgment

Brush off the dust and dirt and shame

Get rid of all the doubts and fears and failures

No one gets to dictate and control who you are going to be

No one gets to change or rearrange who you are now

No one gets to make you feel ashamed of who you were

No one but you gets to control your present and future

I'm done letting my accusers have the last word

I'm done sitting silent while they trample me

I'm done walking in the dust they shake off

I'm done thinking I'm less of a person

We have a choice to make on how to live our lives

We have a choice who we listen to and talk to

We have a chance to welcome the sun and the rain

We have a chance to lay to rest all the rumors

It's time to find out what your talents are and use them

It's time to discover your purpose and to fulfill it

It's time to live life not caring who judges you

It's time to let go of the past and hold onto the future

Don't you want to see just what you are capable of

Don't you want to break free of the box others put you in

Don't you want to just be you and not regret it

Don't you want to be everything you can be

Be free of the burden of caring for those who don't care

Be free of all the eyes watching you, waiting for a mistake

Be free of the fear of never being more than nothing

Be free of the shadows cast on you by your enemies

You are not perfect but your imperfections shape you

You are not a failure but when you fail that's a lesson learned

You are not innocent but grown out of your guilt

You are not the best but when you lose be gracious

We're done wasting our tears on relationships irreparable

We're done hating those who were quick to judge and slow to forgive

We're done despising ourselves because we're constantly put down

We're done giving a flying fig about those who destroy our reps

I am done listening to the deafening judgment of those who used to matter to me
