Your Own Path

People always ask me what I think, it could be about their poem or a story. To be honest I used to be like that, always caring about what people might think about it, but really your the only one that matters. I know you've heard it a dozen times but that's only because it's true. I asked someone what they thought of my poem the other day, and they looked at me and said, "What do you think about your poem", I took a step back and said, "I don't know that's why I asked you". They looked at me and said, "Its not going to matter what I say today, because its you making your own future. I cant impact your feelings or tell you what to write. You have to do all of that on your own." Very wise words!

This is full of truth and it's very wise. All we need is to look at ourselves and see we are the ones we need to please. Sure we like other people's opinions but there is our heart and world we have be satisfied with. If we like ourself than others will. Well said!

So wise and so full of wisdom your words already at your young age. Yes if you read a few pieces of any writer you'll know who has written those lines. The personality, the being, the longing, his/her experiences and so on will always somehow reflect in his/her work. So yes it is only the author's own perceiving of his/her work that truly matters.
Perfect philosophy! Wonderfully expressed.
