You can only be you...

You can only be you...

  
You can only be you...


I speak my mind.

I speak free.

I only speak on what I believe.

If I could fly I would see high above the sea.

Sometimes I wish I had that ability.

I maintain my goals and my dreams and still

I have room to breath.

But what if I were you, and you were me?

Would you agree to the changes that you'll see?

I wouldn't be any different on the inside, but

if I where blind would you mind?

Putting yourself in someone shoes, could you

do the things they have to do?

I wouldn't have the slightest clue.

With that being said I doubt you would too.

I'm in this world to be who I can be

not to prove who I am to a world who's going to judge me.

Trust in yourself, make the best out of everything,

walk with your head up and take chances everyday...

like your philosophy, orbits4 :) i've often thought ... even if we could walk in another's moccasins, the journey would still be our own ... maybe gaining some empathy from their challenges, but never truly able to know another ... LOL ... as we're always learning about ourselves, perhaps it's not surprising how difficult it can be to be understood ... anyway ... nice write! thx for posting!

Thank you for your comment. I don't expect to reach everyone through writting, but I know there are some who think like I do. Thank you for reading my peom :-)

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
