Just Be

Just Be

A Poem by Emily L

Just Be
In the beginning there was nothingness
No rules
No conformity's
No right or wrong way of living
Just a vast array of natures freshly born beauty 
I like to think that once the meaning of life was to ravish in the earths celestial beauty 
And for your innocent soul to be filled with love and adoration of the simplicity that the world was born with

As time has passed on, society has artificially placed itself into the picture   
We are taught from the beginning how to act, how to live, what to do, and who to be 
But I say Just Be
We love to stress and worry about what our lives are going to be 
We question ourselves, "what am I doing?" "when will I get there?" "how will I get there?!" 
"Am I conforming to societies rules and regulations?" but I say Just Be

Just be is a simple term but I prefer simple to be quite honest
Society maps out a set plan for you to fit into this world
But shouldn't I get to be the judge on how I decide to shape and pamper my soul before I am gone?
This life on earth is a spiritual blessing and it's your choice on how you wish to spend it

I wish to love, appreciate and feel.
To Just Be
To let the world take over and grow it's roots inside of me
For when I'm gone I can be satisfied with the fact that I let me Just Be

So enjoyed the sentiments in this flowing piece. It touches on a very good subject making a pertainent point indeed about how social construction and moulding constrains the spirit and adds to the burden we all have to deal with.
