​Be Yourself

I think of strength and I think of me
What is it that I want to be?

I sphere of emotions or a buoyant whirlwind

Hard to be both and win

Power is within you to find

Emotions are never well defined

For one it means love to other shackle

For one progress to other debacle

It is vague and yet so clear

One is poise and other fear

Emotions are tender and make you weak

You got to be strong to have a shining streak

Hold up the head high, take a bow

Feelings tucked in, ready to wow

Be the turtle with the hard cover

Robust outside & warm inner

Keep them away from the inner turmoil

Take on the world with a big smile

Let them fear the façade and exhale

You be yourself; never unveil

The sensitive you, for they don’t care

You be you, while you are here!
