Have you been withholding the real you from the world? Do you need encouragement for being yourself. Read this poem. It will bless you!


Poem Artwork

Come out Come out whereever you are

Your hiding under mask

I never knew it would get this far

that you would withhold your real self

so intelligent, open-spoken, and full of truth

shine like the stars

do not forfeit the beauty of your youth

Life is short

live it to the fullest

bless others with your presence

if you choose not to give, you'll end up with less

time, to enjoy all that God has created

share your gifts and smile with the world

many can be blessed

instead of filling the graves with truths untold

be bold beautiful one

you were fearfully and wonderfully made

don't let such memories of a promising life simply fade

away like old ink on an old book page

Young man young woman

there are many people in the world

more than just a few

who really does want to see the real YOU!

Hi Lakeisha,this is such a great poem to read.It can give anybody the confidence to express themselves without being concerned about other people especially family members criticising them.I guess the reason why a lot of people don't want to show off their real sides because they face the consequences,but that is the risk that people are going to have to take and deal with.I remember when Sidney Poiter said in his book while talking to Oprah "I choose to be the me that I want to be".Thank you for sharing this poem and letting us know who we are and why we are here on this earth,take care
