Just Be Yourself

By Cynthia Jones, www.PoetryPoem.com/poetryandshortstories10    Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime

Don't pretend to be 
something you are not,
just be yourself
don't be someone that time forgot.

If you feel like singing
sing out, you should be proud,
don't hide in a corner
let yourself be heard, sing out loud.

If you feel like humming
because you don't know the words,
don't ever hum quietly
let your humming be heard.

If you feel like wearing make-up
go ahead, put it on,
love yourself for who you are
because you can never go wrong.

If you feel like watching a game
whether it be hockey, even football,
sit down and an enjoy it
we need time for ourselves, don't we all?

If you feel like dancing
go for it and dance,
it doesn't matter what someone else thinks
you might be good at it, there's a chance.

There's no need to show off
just be yourself,
people will like you more
your heart will be filled with wealth.

Don't be someone that time forgot
just be yourself,
don't pretend to be
something you are not.

I can't stand people that pretend to be someone else. Who cares if you have money, a mansion, a million cars, that nobody else can afford. Don't rub it in and show off about it. Give me a break!!! There's more to life...your life...that money CAN'T buy. Don't sell yourself short. JUST BE YOURSELF!!!!
