BE YOURSELF

illia

IF YOU FIND ONE DAY YOU LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF

 

IF YOU LOOK REAL CLOSE YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE WHAT YOU SEE

 

BUT IF YOU LOOK THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT YOU SEE

 

THEN MAYBE YOU HAVE SAVED YOURSELF SOME MISERY

 

MISERY OH MISERY ON ME

ALWAYS DARK AND COLD INSIDE

 

TRYING FOREVER TRYING, INSIDE YOURSELF YOU HIDE

 

HIDING ALWAYS HIDING INSIDE

 

DARKNESS, STILL AND COLD

FOREVER INSIDE YOURSELF YOU FOLD

FOLDING ALWAYS FOLDING

 

NEVER LETTING GO

ALWAYS WILL YOU SAY, FOREVER I'LL NEVER KNOW

 

NEVER KNOWING ABOUT ONES OWN

NEVER KNOWING WHO YOU TRULY ARE

 

JUST SHIMMERING GLIMPSE OF HOPE, SO NEAR YET SO FAR

ON YOUR OWN AGAIN

 

NEVER FINDING HAPPINESS IN OTHERS COMPANY

LOOK INSIDE, AND THEN YOU'LL REALISE THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO BE

 

 BE YOURSELF, INSIDE YOURSELF YOU'LL FIND THE HAPPINESS AND COMFORT OF BEING YOU

 

 

THEN AND ONLY THEN CAN YOU BE TO ONESELF REALLY TRUE

    Cool advising Poem. Super to read. Inspiring in great wording expressed swell. Some very lovely rhyming there. Yes like yor last line says perfectly we can only be true to ourselves by being ourselves and not trying to be sb else. Thumbs up,.
