Be Yourself

Attract the right people,
by always being you.
Stand tall like a steeple,
remain forever true.

Do not change for others,
by hiding how you think.
Never dim your colors,
or your self pride will sink.

Acceptance may gleam bright,
but at times it will not.
Be true to your own light,
to prevent inner knots.

Fifty Fifty chances,
a risk that you must take.
Acting brings advancement,
but makes real hearts feel fake.

Those that are likeminded,
will enjoy your real ways.
Souls should not be guided,
to gain anotherโ€™s praise.

Stand by your pure nature,
letting true self fly free.
It will melt all glaciers,
so all clear eyes can see.

– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

  1. I enjoyed this poem Grace, bang on the money! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค” But these lines below stood out to me ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡
    “Those that are likeminded,

    Souls should not be guided,
    to gain anotherโ€™s praise.”

  2. I’ve been reading your poems lately and it always relates to me, especially this one. I think you are a truly deep thinker but also an empath person! I like how confident you are in every message that you wrote!โค

  3. Be self, true to self, on the ground, that’s the mantra. A beautiful poem, Grace, as always ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’–
