BE TRUE TO YOURSELF

Never give all of yourself
Just keep a little bit back
Find a way to give & share
But keep your soul intact

Close personal freedoms
The very need to express
A thought a feeling a wish
Holding close to your chest

Many times we know it's right
And many times we will find
We were wrong, sad thoughts
The past will come to mind

We must be brave they say
And step into life unafraid
But from the past we learn
From the mistakes we made

Some would take our lives
And live it for themselves
In their shadow we walk
And from their lips we talk

So please be true to yourself
Let your light shine through
Tis nothing wrong with loving
But is this kind of love for you

To become the other person
Then you will disappear
Nothing left of your own self
Or things you held so dear

So stand up and be counted
Don't follow in this trend
Be true to the person you are
Or to their will you bend
