Be you

I’m not sure if you realise

I’m not sure that you see

When people say these simple words

“Be just what you want to be”

They aren’t talking about being an astronaut

Nor being a farmers wife

But all about the choice you have

On how you live your life

Like never looking backwards

Regretting things you’ve done

If you’ve feel you’ve made bad choices

Just make some better ones

If you’ve treated people badly

Then realised you were wrong

Then just treat people better

Accept, then move along

If you’re always looking backwards

Instead of changing who you are

You’re really just not fixing things

Nor getting very far

There’s things in life that make us sad

And sadness has it’s need

But be sure to let the sadness out

Don’t let your life it lead

Anger, sadness, jealousy

These things are normal too

But just don’t let these feelings

Be the whole of you

Give them time and feel them

Let them do their thing

But don’t put your heart inside their cage

And forget to let it sing

You can be anything you want to be

Happy, sad or cross

Feeling empathetic

Sometimes feeling lost

All these things are normal

They’re things that we all feel

So don’t be feeling guilty

Give “you” some time to heal

You CAN be what you want to be

There is no right or wrong

Every single persons soul

Is singing their own song
