Be the You, You Wanna Be

Be the You, You Wanna Be

A Poem by Shalini Dinesh (Poet's World)

It's okay to be down and let out the tear,
It's okay when others cannot hear,
It's okay if the light shines but you're in dark,
Sing your song and be let you be the lark,

It goes, goes and goes on each day,
It's okay, that's how it is and no other way,
It's okay if you are not all the time strong,
It's okay till if you don't stay there for long.

It's okay if others can't hear you cry,
It's okay if you don't question them why,
It's okay if You don't want to blend,
Be your soldier, as there's no angels god send.

Be your light,
Put up the flight.
Pull up your sleeve,
Throw out the grieve,

Time ticks but for all,
Smile and it's your call,
Be the you, you wish to be,
Not the one in mirror you see.
