Be YOUrself


Life is like a game of chess

There is a King and a Queen most are trying to impress

But none the less, some fight to be themselves

One most delve

Look far beyond what they want you to see

Be the odd ball and disagree

Don’t forget that looks can deceive

So be yourself, and not with grieve

But with pride and joy

Poetry is the way I relieve myself. It's a way of expressing myself.
