Be A Daisy

 

Be true to yourself,

As youngsters we don’t really know yet who we are,

Our struggle to find our place is so bizarre,

We tend to conform to the group mentality,

But life experiences and time give us clarity,

We want to fit in and be popular amongst the crowd,

Maturity shows us that there is no voice as loud,

As the voice inside us, revealing what we believe,

When we believe in ourselves, we achieve,

A confidence that surpasses the world’s clatter,

A courage that says I really do matter,

I am strong.  I can decide.  I know what is right,

Against the hypocrisy, I will fight,

In a world where corruptions abound,

Civility is lost and the sincere can’t be found,

Trust in yourself, alongside the Almighty,

There is still hope for our society,

It may sound really crazy:

In a world of roses, be a daisy!
