To Be and Not To Seem

To Be and Not to Seem
Be what you are, not what you seem
Like a delusion of a one-night dream.
What you seem is not what you are
People easy will not forget,
The real you and not the show,
In true life there is no regret.
Living simple, with no show
A picture true will grow.
Be just you: don’t  impress
That which you don’t possess.
