Be Yourself Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Be yourself

Be dervish
-if poet

Time has come
-let hat go
-shoes also

Wear the socks
-as gloves

Change, reverse
-jackets, shirts

Go out and
-shout aloud:

"Do not care! "
"Do not care! "
"Do not care! "

"For the laws
-if written and enforced,
-contracts or moral;
-etiquette! "

Get out of witness box
-break the shackles and
-remove all the blinds
-forced, imposed
-by handcuffs

Be own-self!

Be yourself!
Be yourself!
Be yourself!
