Be You


A heartbeat is like

The beat of a song

More like the

Beat of your song

Your life song

The heart provides the beat

And your life is the dance

The world is the tempo

Sometimes we learn

As we go

Sometimes we lead

Sometimes we teach

In the end

It’s a beautiful dance

Each step unique to you

Unlike anybody else’s

Because it tells your story

Not their story

Nobody else can tell it like you

Because no one has lived it

So go out and tell your story

The best you can

And do not compare it

To anybody else’s

Because they did not experience

The things that you did

Dare to be different

Create your own moves

Dance freely

Live your life

Be you!
