Be Yourself

This next poem I wrote on my own... I was, and still am, quite passionate about this issue when I wrote it. We need to stop trying to be someone we're not. If you're name's not Michael Jordan, then you were never meant to be Michael Jordan. If you're name's not Brett Lee, then you were never meant to be Brett Lee. It's great to have role models. Just don't focus so much on trying to be them that you actually forget who you really are. You have a name and you have a purpose. Only you can fulfill your purpose, and you can only do it by being yourself. God knew what you were going to do before you were born. He knew your gifts and abilities. He knew your weaknesses. He has given you everything you need to be able to accomplish His plans for your life. And don't forget, God loves you. He always has, and He always will. It doesn't matter what you're going through - He's right beside you. You can turn to Him at any time. The title of this poem is "Be Yourself."

I serve God

And God alone

So I'm gonna be frank

Get my tone?

Don't fake if you ain't

You are who you are

It's you who'll suffer

Your reputation you'll mar

Yourself is best

Yourself is unique

No-one's like you

When you're at your peak

Don't hide behind walls

Or board yourself in

Step up! Speak out!

Make a loud din!

Don't cower with fear

Serve with your all

He's right behind you

Let the chains fall

You'll be mocked for sure

So just stand strong

Follow God's lead

Don't follow the throng

God's got you tight

You know He's there

He's all you need

You're in His care.
