Just Be (Rhyme)
Folder:
Individuality, Never Conformity! The rat race in this Life
Can sometimes be in strife
When others tell you what you must be
Disallowing individuality
If you're searching for truth
Be ready, for they'll refute!
of who you want to be
Making it murky for you to see
(When you want to be real...)
Learning to love yourself
Is such a great deal of help
Go look into the mirror
So it can all be clearer
"If I become someone else
It isn't me, nay, but less
If it's not in my heart
Definitely it's the wrong start"
~ It makes sense to be ~
...so just be...
...so just be...
~ It's inside me ~
~ All I need is to just be ~
~ All I want is to be me ~
(breath)
Then I'll feel so much relief
This poem hits home for me. I've found with liking myself and being myself my whole life. I've finally given up on trying to change to be what everyone else wants and desires. It's impossible to make everyone happy and in the end I can't change anyway. I still hold the same standards, the same morals, the same intelligence and lack there of, the same family, the same friends, the same poetry, etc. Now, that I've learned it's better to be myself I want to pass that onto my son, Conner. I hope he doesn't try to be someone he's not to impress other people, but at some point I think we all have done it. So, wish me luck in teaching him to be himself and to love himself.
