look in the mirror...dear driend
do you like what you see see?
are you true to yourself?
is this what you want to be,
do your eyes portray
truthfulness and honesty?
its easy to lie to others
but do I lie to me?
to live with oneself
is difficult......
for conscience is our gatekeeper,
and when you let a thief in,
it does warn you,
maybe once maybe twice,
maybe you heed the call,
or maybe you let the thief rob you
of your values, principles, and morals
but even if you gained a lot..temporarily,
you cannot rest on those laurels
peace forsakes you
bad health overtakes you,
coz its difficult to be true to yourself..
some people have perfected the art,
they have just shut down their heart.
they have a conscience,
but they choose not to hear it
if it ****** them occasionally
they just grin and bear it
thus they carry on in life,
lying to themseves all through
till they become so adept,
they think This is true
they have never felt sad, or even wept,
because they are not true to themselves
we can choose to do wrong,
or we can opt to live right
we can go the simple way,
or we can put up a fight,
He gives us that courage
if we choose to be strong
He helps us choose if we value
right over wrong,
but the decision is ours,
to take the easy way....
or be true to oneself.......
nothing can compare
to, having total peace of mind
always being honest
, compassionate and kind,
when your head touches the pillow
you sleep deep and long,
because you have sung
the honesty song.....
so be true to yourself and see...
life will be a wondrous melody
hummed by you till the very end,
and the heaven you will surely transcend
coz youve been true to yourself....
