Poetry Just Be Yourself

Just be yourself

Which version of myself should I be?

The soft part of me who wants to embrace my community with love

holds space alongside the part with revenge fantasies against anyone who thinks badly about me.

Just be yourself

My self is like a fast, babbling brook. It changes, always.

And anyway, when am I

not myself?

No changeling stole my body. I am always me.

Some people try on personalities like fresh socks, everyday.

Some people plateau like a Colorado rock.

I shift between, sometimes I do both.

Parts burn out or change, but the whole stays the same.

Just be yourself
