Be True to You
so tough to be original
to have a unique thought
unless you abandon the traditional
modes of thinking, do not
be afraid of your intelligence
seek a new path, get lost
ponder the purpose of your existence
find the lines yet to be crossed
the old ways are stagnant
there’s traffic on that road
so be yourself for a moment
let insecurity implode
you’ll be wise to drop its weight
or end up paralyzed by fears
that whatever you say or create
will stumble awkwardly past deaf ears
don’t create to get noticed
that’s a perk, not the goal
learn always to be modest
spark the fire in your soul
get worked up about what you feel
stop silently passing through
don’t hesitate to share your zeal
in hopes that it might outlast you
