Be To Yourself True

Live life at your own pace,

No need to get bogged down by the rat race!

The rat race will make out of you a rat,

It is insidious enough to put you on the mat!

Stay away from its deceptive charm,

It is the gateway to incalculable harm!

Be your own person and walk at your own pace,

In it lies  real charm and  real grace!

You have nothing to lose and nothing to win,

So stay away from all needless clamour and din!

Be your own person and don’t go by the diktats of the times,

Do whatever with your our heart rhymes!

No need to needlessly name, fame, power, pelf and Mammon woo,

It is more important to listen to what your heartbeats tell you!

Your truth that within you pulsates and throbs,

Not heeding it you of your authenticity robs!

So be to yourself true,

By deceiving oneself no person in life ever grew!
