Be Yourself

Believe in individualism not compliance,
Etch your mark in existence with defiance.

You’re something special to behold,
Organise your mind and watch your dreams unfold.

Uplift disappointment with drive and ambition,
Reach for the moon and make the stars your fruition.

Sense the worth and value in your being,
Elevate cliché with a creative sightseeing.

Life is a big canvas for you to express yourself,
Find a passion and never let identity expire on the shelf.
