Be yourself



“BE YOURSELF”

Be yourself
And forget those, who don’t like you,
World is a distorting mirror,
It has its own true
And hear, what its want to hear.

Be yourself
And finally let those,
Who don’t understand you, leave.
Important - who is close,
Don’t intend to deceive.

Be yourself
And argue with this world
Without lying to myself.
The road of life is whorled,
But light soul flutters like an elf.

Be yourself,
When you need to be strong,
On the Earth no easy way .
Faced to destiny you are alone ,
Everything is decided by the minute, the day.

Be yourself,
When your hopes burn
And you remain old- fashioned decent,
Bright with love in return
For what passed long ago or recent.

The understanding comes afterward…
First , feelings arrive itself.
In this unfair world
The main is not lost yourself!
