Do not judge me by your standards <br />Because they don’t apply to me <br />Your punishments and your rewards <br />Are of no consequence to me. <br /> <br />The principles which I live by. <br />Apply to me and me alone <br />I see no reason I should try <br /> to change my ways; act differently <br /> <br />I do not seek the spotlights glare. <br />Fame is of no interest to me <br />I really do not think I’d care <br /> to be some flash celebrity/ <br /> <br />I am quite happy with my life <br />I do not need the extra stress, <br /> the trials troubles and the strife <br /> Which are the trappings of success. <br /> <br />Continue to pursue your dream <br /> as you have every right to do <br />But things aren’t always what they seem <br />You’ll learn through time my words are true. <br /> <br />I find I am content to be <br /> a simple ordinary man. <br />I jog along quite happily <br /> and live the best way that I can. <br /> <br />I don’t judge you, so don’t judge me. <br />You have your life and I have mine <br /> Can we agree to disagree <br /> and part as friends amicably. <br /> <br />11-Sep-08 <br /> <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/different-dreams/
