How Can U Be So Dumb?

How can I be so dumb?
When, I know I am so smart
Because, I listen to my mind
And don’t, follow my heart!

I listen to all the things
That, others, say, must be
I try to make them happy
Instead of just, being me.

How can I be so dumb
When I can see a way
When I don’t turn there
And go where I want to play!

People seem to do that
What, they know is wrong
Instead of doing their own thing
They just want to tag along.

I can say, “I did it my way!”
But, I didn’t do it right
Especially if you ask me
In the lonely dark, of night.

I think this is true of all of at times, Abe.  It's hard not to follow.  I am working on the "going my own way" thing.  Thank you for sharing with us.
