What Makes You Beautiful

You inspire without trying
You love unconditionally
You dance whether anyone is looking or not
You skip instead of walk
You smile when you want to cry
You cry because you laugh
You laugh because it's what you do
You are yourself
You are empathetic
You are compassionate
You lend your shoulder
You give yourself
You hold someone's hands
You rub someone's back
You share your life
You share your stories
You save others
An unsung hero
An ordinary human
You are you

Songs of Myself

I only know how to be
myself
I can only be me

I only feel inside 
my heart
And yet, its what I hide

I only think of dreams
all the time
And it flows like rough streams

I only see what I see
inside myself
And see myself as me

I can only be
many to all
and all to many

I can only live
life as myself
To have faith and believe

I can only give my soul
to myself
and let it grow old

I only know how to be
myself
I can only be me

To thine ownself
be true,
be true to myself
