Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Adorn Yourself, Live Vicariously As You

Adorn yourself with vicarious, honest, enjoyable living.
Be someone else if you must, but not every day, and not all the time.
For your soul is waiting to treat yourself, delight yourself.
Enjoy a silken impetus, and a truly joyful exult.
Be whoever you want to be, and it does not necessarily have to always be you.

Safeguard yourself from your enemy’s jealous mockery.
Do not give credence to the angry looks or irritated smirks.
Save yourself by not caring, in any kind of way.
Lean rather toward your well-earned esteem, daily fulfilment and
The possibility of earning wealth and opulence through your own best efforts, and joys.

An unavoidable chasm with the naysayers might be exactly what your
Waiting expectant soul needs to never look back and enjoy every solid ounce of
The rest of your life.
Save yourself.
Be you, but in your
Own way.
Live big!
