Thought you were wrong once,

 but maybe you were mistaken.

 However no one else's opinion

 was considered or ever taken.

 

 To some this is arrogance,

 or just being conceited.

 You thought you were perfect

 and your only goal, is never to be defeated.

 

 Confidence is a good thing,

 and being positive is a must,

 but no one is an island

 and in others we must learn to trust.

 

 We can all learn from others,

 if we simply drop your guard.

 Loneliness in later life can be

 unpleasant and often very hard.

 

 Don't be concerned,

 about feeling a little vulnerable.

 It is more important in life to try

 to do what is honourable.

 

 It will serve you well,

 when you look back on your life,

 if you have made a positive difference

 by earning respect and not creating strife.©
