Be Who You Are

On this inherently changing Earth, there live flocks of sheep some of whose eyes never meet a mirror but only on others do they peep Some of them may have a knack of picking on you Barring the ones who want the lamb in you to grow sadly, such are in numbers, very few Growing from a lamb to a human is under much scrutiny, "After all, the lamb should become just another sheep' is what they say unitedly Thus, caging the young free-flowing minds brutally Most of the young ones dwell in fears of judgement and are told to kill their unique ambitions in names of 'adjustment' Doing something off track gives way to an explosion of opinions That's when our faith in goodness and ourselves becomes our closest companion What most don't understand is the peace hidden in listening to ourselves we may make many-a mistakes but that's how self-doubt and underconfidence is dispelled Remember, life is meant to be lived to the fullest and not in the most 'perfect' way what counts is how determined and righteous we have been and how steadfast and courageous we have stayed Following your view doesn't mean to revolt out of your way and keeping all other perspectives at bay But sometimes, it is better to be a human rather than another sheep after all, humans are meant to be all different and unique Follow what you truly believe in but be open to constructive suggestions give your dreams and intuition priority and embrace your uniqueness not with resent but compassion
