Their-ness

with too much of Their-ness

i took on their grey

their ways made no sense

my soul fading away

trying to follow their nonsense

day after day

-

i needed back my me-ness

i needed to be free

that old soul of wonder

where could it be?

-

i peeled back the layers

old paint flakes and things

and found my true colours

where they've always been

-

we all shine like candles

light creates every hue

let Me be the Best Me

-

and please

let

You be the Best You.
