Smiling. Like you don’t care.
Laughing like you actually like what they like.
You just want to be in a spotlight.
Saying those words like its your line,
I believe its time you stop.
I believe you should stop thinking you are on top.
Forcing yourself in...into a “perfect” you.
Keeping yourself captive.
Wanting to be in their collective.
Because you want to fit in.
“ I know how you feel.”
I said into the mirror.
Finally it is clearer.
That I don’t have to be a joker.
Anymore...that I could be myself...finally...forevermore.
Be yourself okay:) But, of course when someone corrects you, thank him or her;) God bless yall

"Get to work"
"Focus for your future"
"Nothing gets done if you don't start"
"Get yourself in line"
These phrases are what we all hear
Hear inside of torment
torment that might show us what we should know
Know only what the government wants us to
To learn is to become
Become who you're meant to be
"Be who you are," they say
Say to make us believe
Believing is key, you see
See what you can do
Do what others say you can't
Prove them wrong so they will see
See what you can be
Be someone you like
Be someone you can trust
Be someone who makes the world better
Be yourself.
Is this inspirational? I hope it is...

I used to get mad
when people would compare me
“You remind me of”
“Do you know who you sound like”
but how can I be mad,  if I compare myself
im constantly changing, who I am today will not be who I am tomorrow.

What if you wake up tomorrow
and forget who you are
and who you used to be?
Is it all gone?
Have all the people you’ve ever met
and all the places you’ve ever been to
disappeared instantaneously?
Why don’t you step outside your comfort zone
before you lose yourself to your naked truth.
Are you living?
Or are you simply breathing in the toxins of your own demise?

Where there are stars from a constellation never seen,
Where flowers bloom in the dark night,
Where trees sing along the wind,
Where the eternal fire burns through,
Where birds sing melodies unheard of.

There I will rise again!

As bright as a star
As mesmerizing as an angel
As beautiful as the daughter of the God,
And, as me...

Loathe me for owning, wearing and
being my truth than adore me for
hiding, faking and being
a lie
I just want to be my authentic self.  
Why should I be pressured into being anything else?
Anyway, thank you everyone for all the likes, loves, reposts and follows!
I truly am grateful!

Ohh it’s the second and last,
Tomorrow is again the start.

Got to make it count,
Don’t let it get you down.

Forget what is to follow,
It will ruin your day if you do so.

Go exploring,
Keep those ideas pouring.

Time is in your control,
With every thought and idea it is sure to lift your soul.
I always need motivation for Sunday’s, it’s such a sad thought knowing I’m back at work the next day!

Any choice you make,
They will judge you in the end.
Don't let that stop you.
Society is funny. Society is frickin' lame.
Society is sh*t.

If I speak my mind
I unleash my inner thoughts
You must promise not to get angry

If I do not
I cease to be myself
You are content

If I speak up
I unleash the demons that whisper to our thoughts
You must learn to silent yours

If I do not
I cease to understand you
You fail to connect my mind
(now read it bottom-up/replace ‘you’ with ‘I’)
