Don’t listen
When they tell you what to love
Don’t listen
When they tell you what to hate
Don’t listen
When they tell you who to love
Don’t listen
When they tell you who to hate
Don’t listen
When they tell you what to do
Don’t listen
When they tell you how to feel
Don’t listen
When they tell you how to live
Question everything
“How To Be You” is a poem that first appeared on Lifesfinewhine. The older I get, the more I crave wanting to be my authentic self. As a teenager I think we are all pressured to be a certain way. Anything out of the norm is ridiculed. However, the older I get the more I realise that my real self is what makes me happy. I like how I am and who I am. “How To Be You” is inspired by this growing urge within me to unapologetically be myself. Hope you enjoy the poem and let me know your thoughts on it in the comments below.
