Just be YOU

by Masked metaphor   Oct 1, 2012


A girl sits alone,
Thoughts all torn.
Dreams broken down,
Life filled with sorrow...

But things will change...

Its important to never forget to

Be who you want to be...
Say what you want to say.
Don't let what people think make you stray...
For you are YOU in the end.

Express what you deeply feel inside
there is no time to keep it bottled up
Feel free to live your life
without the strain of peoples lies.

Don't listen...
Just believe in you
You are unique
You are the one that can say yes or no to anything...
Just be YOU.

Smile because you mean it
laugh because you feel it
Life will get better when you start to believe it

So when times break you down
and you feel there is no way out
and all you want to do is fade away...

Believe in yourself...
You are strong,
You are true
and no matter what life brings
YOU will push through!

    Very good message- if only more people thought like this. Life is hard and a lot of people lack confidence in themselves and in their abilities, whereas they should embrace who they are and be proud of it. Wonderful message, nice poem :)

    Imitation ridicules worth. Where focus is gained, strife is lost.

    When mind is made up, win is close. Nothing comes true, outside Belief. Imitation, is worst deceit. Very beautifully worded!

    "You believe in you". I loved the repetition of you and how you emphasized it so beautifully....reminding people we are in control of our lives, and we can choose to be happy in what we do.

    "Feel free to live your life
    without the strain of peoples lies."

    ~ Very motivational and so true....it's easy and doesn't take much to be worn down by the people we surround ourselves with...I know I vent about people at school who are constantly being negative w/ each word they say. And then the people who lie, it's like why do that to ourselves? Why not live the truth.

    Beautiful piece, so joyful to read, keep writing :)
