Don't Lose Yourself! Poem by Martin Greyford

Some people are very crazy in mind
By always wanting others to fit in their class,
But you shouldn't let their corrupt minds
Ruin everything on how you think
About yourself everyday in every
Society you are in.

I might not be the smartest person
But I'm very smart for the heart
That is meant to love me.
I may not be handsome
But I'm very handsome for the heart
That is meant to love me.

People say I'm shy and I'm not so good
But I'm always the best for the heart
That is meant to love me.
See! Don't let anyone devalue you.
You're beautiful because that's how you see yourself.
You're handsome because of how you value yourself.

Don't lose yourself to fit somebody's class.
You may be too black, white or coloured
But for the heart that is meant to love you,
You are the best always.
People see the opposite of what your suitor sees.
They'll criticize you because of the state you're in.

But don't lose yourself because of what they say.
You are too beautiful and too handsome
For the heart that is meant to love you.
You are too smart and you are the best
For the heart that is meant to love you.
Don't lose yourself.

They see an ugly face in you
They see a grummy face in you
But they don't know that somebody out there
Loves you the way you are.
They see the best in you always because they are meant to love you.
So don't lose yourself because of what they say.
