You Shall Be True To Yourself.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

Most people
are untrue.

fact # one,
and you too

by circumstances
takes that fact

as a necessity,
and so

you become
one people with

lots of other
people: untrue

and once
you accept this

as fact, comes
fact # 2,

you can choose
and remain

true to yourself,
as others too

are trying to
be true,

and comes fact
# 3:


you learn to
trust yourself

the self that
you know best.

your best friend
ally, and

whatever,
whenever, and
whosoever.
