Stay True

They will whisper soft of who to be,
Of shapes to mould, of eyes to see,
They will draw their maps upon your skin,
And beg you to change the soul within!

But stars don’t ask to shine bright,
Nor rivers halt to please the night,
A rose won’t trade her crimson hue,
So why should you be less than you?

For every flaw that they may name,
Is your spark and your steady flame,
The world may shift, the winds may roar,
But stand your ground and be evermore!

Let mirrors show what is truly there,
A heart unmasked, beyond compare,
Stay wild, stay weird, stay full and stay free,
The world needs you because you are that key!
