Brother Bhunru Poet Free verse

Be Yourself-ish

To be yourself-ish
Or to be yourself-less
That is the question:

It's like not knowing yourself
to be “yourself” that you'll be 
everyone else but you

But knowing yourself
that being yourself
cause all but hurt for you

If they know themselves
they’ll save themselves by
knowing they can't save you

So you think to yourself
To end yourself to
spare them the truth

But don't refuse yourself 
and turn yourself-less
It's okay to be yourself-ish

Got to be yourself-ish 
or remain yourself-less
Both are all but hellish

Lose yourself or
Warp yourself
None can offer help

And yet. I could care no less
The answer, I shall relish
Forever, I’ll cherish.
