BE YOURSELF

Sometimes I need a reminder just to be myself.

INJUNCTION OF THE SOUL

Let not the whining wind

Of unhappy people

Extinguish your flame

Let not the temper

Of angry hearts

Spark an anger in you

Let not the fear

Of fearful minds

Weaken your own resolve

Let not blinded souls

Hide you in their shadow

Let not the drudgery

Of daily tasks

Make you forget to dream

Let not another’s answer

Keep you from questing your own

Let not the loveless

Prevent you from loving

Stand alone if you must

The glorious being that you are.
