The Secret

The Secret

A Poem by Aehr

Tiny golden stars flying freely in the air

I’m walking on the streets, going to God-Knows-Where

There was dream in my eyes, it’s come true now, you see

That dream in my eyes was only just to be me

Liberty is now, finally mine to keep

I don’t have to sit in a corner and weep

And whine about the times they made fun of my face

The times when I used to feel disgusting, out of place

Because the magical spell the others kept secretly

Is finally within my reach, and I can finally believe

Being yourself in life is the key to success

For only when you are yourself, can you pass the test

And when I asked the spell how my life would change

She whispered in my ear, thoughts of a new range

The test of life, in which some fail, some don’t

Some say they’ll take the right path, some deliberately won’t

And you, my friend, I know that you will take the right way

You are sensible enough to recognise the light of day

And you’ll not choose the darkness, and be evil all your life

l know you will be wise, in spite of all the strife

But you write your own destiny, the pen in your hand

And before you choose your road, you better understand

Whether you soar in the sky, or deluge into the sea

Just yourself is what you should always choose to be

And you shall pass the test of life, while those who made fun

Will just keep doing that and end up from where they’ve begun

So kick back and live your life, this was the message she shared

The people who made fun, of life, they were scared

So I put the spell on myself, and walk with a smile

The journey has just started, and I’ve already covered a mile

:P thnx
I feel that this is the most honestly written poem I've read on overcoming self-esteem issues. No frills, just straight-out truth about accepting ourselves for who we are and what we can do. Coherent flow of thoughts, a great ending and
I love how you still manage to keep the rhyme intact along with such an inspiring message.

Being yourself is indeed one of the spells to unlock success, and I'm glad you realized it!
