"Be You"

Okay...this isn't so much a poem as it is a song. But I thought it was fitting for my next blog post.

I wrote this last night, after some inspiration from GLucciano (thanks again for my breakthrough!). I think maybe the full effect of the words will come with the music, but I hope the message stands on its own. Leave a comment and let me know what you think!


Be You

You're beautiful the way you are
Flaws and all, you're a superstar

Don't let them tell you your way is wrong
Trust in yourself and be strong

You're living your own destiny
And you're right where you're supposed to be

Baby, it's all you
And baby, you're the truth
Do what you're born to do
Go ahead...and be you

You can only be you, and I can only be me
Their expectations don't make your reality

You've got to be real, you gotta be yourself
Find your reward in peace, love and wealth

I can plainly see the greatness that's inside
So don't let nobody go and take your sunshine

Baby, it's all you
And baby, you're the truth
Do what you're born to do
Go ahead...and be you

Everybody's gotta learn to walk their own path
We gotta learn to be satisfied with the talents we have

Who we are has already been assigned
Naturally divine, baby you're you by design

Baby, it's all you
And baby, you're the truth
Do what you're born to do
Go ahead...and be you
