BE YOURSELF 

 

Call it selfish if you must 

But I believe every choice must bring you closer to yourself

 

If it only strains you, and brings you no laughter

It is not who you are, it is not how you should be walking 

 

If it alters your voice and weakens your posture

It is not who you are, it is not how you should be walking 

 

If you must squint your eyes and scrap the depths of you mind 

To meet the minds of those unlike your own 

Know that it is not who you are, it is not how you should be walking 

 

In all my accounts of love and rejection

I have learnt that it is better to— 

 

Be yourself, and don’t apologize.

Mostly because, 

you really have no choice in the matter. 

You are going to do it anyways 

and if it’s not on purpose 

it will be by mistake. 

 

Such a shame 

to make yourself a mistake. 

 

And when you apologize for it 

you will always apologize

because you will always do it. 

And it will be so sad 

and so boring 

And nobody will care,

 

it would be all for nothing. 

And worse it will be all your fault.

 

You’ll blame yourself for being yourself, 

and hate yourself because you can’t help it. 

 

It is who you are.

It is.
