True Poem by Kerry Jackson Kay

If though life owes you nothing it delivers even less
If everything you try to build collapses in a mess
If the things supposed to cheer you are instead a source of stress
Be true

If you find yourself misquoted, vilified, misunderstood
If all the good you ever do is trampled in the mud
If your heart calls you to action, but your mind's not sure you should
Be true

If you feel misrepresented, discouraged or ignored
While the bullies that attack you are rewarded and adored
The movement of the seasons doesn't care about crown or sword
Be true
Be you.
