Be As You Are Meant To Be

Look beyond who people think you are Look inside to see yourself as only you see Don't worry about what others may think There is no reason to hide life's scars Just be as you are meant to be Everything will not always go right Always be true to yourself You'll see that even if in a fight You won't need to remember Because you know the answer The days when you fall You don't need to hide Many can help with anything Both physical and emotional It happens to all You need to stop and think It's okay to cry When emotions get strong Sometimes you must blink You are not considered weak If you stop and ask yourself why

Good write, Matt. We have two sides- character and reputation. Reputation waht people think we are, and character is who we know we are. People put too much value on the first, and just get on with living, carrying the much lighter, stronger, second. Viv

Thank you for reading my poem I appreciate review. Everybody sees themselves differently than the rest of the world sees them because nobody shares everything with anybody even those closest to them. We all have secrets, both good and bad.
