Just Be
Just be yourself they say
Jus love yourself they say
But what if you don’t know yourself
What if everything you were told about you
From other people was a lie?
What if there were seeds of greatness
Buried deep within the depths of your soul.
What if there were years upon years of limiting
Beliefs that were meant to cause the flames of
Of your inner light to dim and be buried like a
Cemetery.
As if to say here lies the versions
Of all the great and awesome things your were
Meant to accomplish in your life regardless of
Who chooses to be in your corner, have your
Back, lift you up so you never lack.
So when they say just be such and such why
Not decide for yourself who you want to be
What experiences do you want to see because
This is YOUR LIFE and no one else's.
After all who are they to tell you what’s what
Consider them like quicksand because if you
Listen to them and they, it is a guarantee you
Will get stuck on their opinions and what others
Have to say.
So at the end of the day just be.
