Every time I read her poems I am left with a clear mind and the desire to better myself and those around me.
It can be hard for some of us to find our true selves when we are in some way being tuned to follow the lives of others. Glorifying things that have no meaning or value.
Ellen Bailey speaks on the beauty of being yourself and the energy you could possibly give to others.
The poem is titled Be Yourself and it pretty much speaks for itself.
Hope you enjoy her writing my friends.
Be Yourself
Why would you want to be someone else
When you could be better by being yourself
Why pretend to be someone you are not
When you have something they haven't got
Cheating yourself of the life you have to live
Deprives others of that only which you can give
You have much more to offer by being just you
Than walking around in someone else's shoes
Trying to live the life of another is a mistake
It is a masquerade; nothing more than a fake
Be yourself and let your qualities show through
Others will love you more for being just you
Remember that God loves you just as you are
To Him you are already a bright shining star
Family and friends will love you more too
If you spent time practicing just being you
