Matters None To Me

It matters none to me criticism or praise Since they do not mentally deflate me or my hopes does raise Of climbing up further on the social tree In life you win some and lose some is how it seems to be As long as people's opinions on me are not based on lies And to character assassination does not give rise With negative opinions on me I am able to live And no offense taken and nothing for to forgive Since I feel no aspiration for wealth and for fame Praise and criticism I treat as the same Why some people dislike those who criticize them one must wonder why That we can learn from criticism is a fact they deny It matters none to me criticism or praise They do not mentally deflate me or my hopes does raise.
