Be yourself,
because that is the only thing in this world we do right
The truth is that love is indefinable,
Because we, the very beings subject to love,
Are also indefinable.
We do these things
just so we can regret them
we say words that we never would want said to us
and we have “life-principles” that all we do is read,
and ignore.
We are simply complicated, walking, talking, contradictions
And yet despite all our failures,
We still do it right.
There is not anything that defines who we are,
What we will do,
Or who we will be,
That is something we choose.
Feel pride in the artwork of your life
You made it
You did something incredibly beautiful,
Something wonderful,
And no one can take away what you have made
We all feel so strongly about following the principles of others
Of looking like others
Of acting like others
of being others,
When in reality the most beautiful thing we can do
Is create our own life, and choose our own words
The one thing we can do,
Is drop the chains
the ones that bound us to the personality society prescribes
take a deep breath,
maybe scream, run, or cry
and just be ourselves
be spontaneous.
Live.
