Be True to You

so tough to be original

to have a unique thought

unless you abandon the traditional

modes of thinking, do not

be afraid of your intelligence

seek a new path, get lost

ponder the purpose of your existence

find the lines yet to be crossed

the old ways are stagnant

there's traffic on that road

so be yourself for a moment

let insecurity implode

you'll be wise to drop its weight

or end up paralyzed by fears

that whatever you say or create

will stumble awkwardly past deaf ears

don't create to get noticed

that's a perk, not the goal

learn always to be modest

spark the fire in your soul

get worked up about what you feel

stop languidly passing through

don't hesitate to share your zeal

in hopes that it might outlast you
