Be Yourself Poem by McCarthy Ilolo

Being blinded by a mist
And getting flicked by a twist
Saying we are holy
But feeling so unholy

Saying we are upright
But not doing things right
Saying we are in love
But show no sign of trust

Saying we are in love
But not given love in return
Giving people all our trust
But still find fright in betrayal

Saying we have no gift
Yet we writing lyrics
With countless inspirations
Saying we have no weak point
But keep falling in love

Upholding greatness in our ways
But not given full glory
Saying we have a way out
But seem to always get trapped
Saying we have no one
But we keep hurting those
Who try to care

Trying to act cool
Just to make an impression
And forgetting the fact about being cool
Is being you
No one could be better
At being you than you

Quit being a hypocrite
Cause the best version of yourself
Is being you and nobody else

By blaming others for your mistakes
You only justify your case
Forgetting your greatest mistake
Is the refusal of your flaws

Don't dare dream of greatness without achievement
Don't feel you could be at the
Top of a mountain
Just by standing
But you could achieve greatness
By striving to thrive more

When planning for success
Avoid blabbing
But when met with success
Overt it to the world
You can't pray for success
And remain slipshod
Towards failure
You can't sit still and wait
For an opportunity
To come to u
But you find it seize it
And be it
