Your Own

Everyone should have an image
or so they say,
but the best advice I know
is be yourself every single day.

Too many use masks
to hide what is real;
don't be one of those,
show it - and really feel.

For life is much too short
to go around being fake,
so give the world the truth...
now that's an image to take.
