To A Woman Who Wants To Write To Be Someone Else Poem by RIC BASTASA

hello don't be someone else
listen to your voice
do not borrow their tone
take your intensity
just be yourself
listen everyday to the
sound of your soul
it will always have something
to say to you

why wait for his door to open?
you have your house
its door is broken
and it will just be you
doing the repairs

it will just be you and no other
listen some more
hear the harkings of your soul
now it is whispering
