Be You

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

Life happens
Let it
Be You
The world can handle it
Pay no never mind to the naysayers
Bullies and fraudsters are too busy hiding out
Afraid to be themselves
Too busy trying to be something else
Let them
Let the world go on ticking
Have peace in knowing you don't have to keep up with them
Or rather fall behind with them
You are further ahead by being yourself
You will get up in the morning refreshed
Go to bed at night with clear conscience
Let them think they have won
Life is not a competition
It is a journey to be true to yourself
Let your heart not be troubled
For when you are called home
And you kneel before Him
You can rejoice in knowing Him
God chose you to be one of His flock
Rejoice in Him, with Him, with love in your heart.
