The Joy of Being Genuine

The joy of being genuine. Unbound by what others think! At times, a most lonely and desolate place! But you must, you must keep face! And it is one-hundred per cent you each second. God has given you both the courage and the grace To sing your song to the eternal stars. With a shining soul-face! God, himself,never went out to please the crowds, He gave His life for others. It's our job too, to stop looking for approval And be true to our brothers. So, walk between the raindrops! Embrace your joy and salty tears, too. After all, you are the best gift to others, Only if you are truly joyous, Just by being you. Panagiota Romios 3/12/2019

I find it is so much easier being me than trying to be someone I am not. Sometimes people don't care for the real me, but many do and so do I. :) Nicely done Panagiota

Yes, I so agree. People do like the real you! If not, Who the heck cares? You cannot not be you...I don't like phonies. I can tell when are not being them. I just want to run away... Many mentors, books, and uplifting friends are responsible for me to knock off being a crowd pleaser. Including awesome poets here who cheer me on. Bless them all, Love, Panagiota
