BE YOURSELF

sometimes you just have to
forget the rules

follow your heart and see
where it takes you

never apologize
for saying what you feel

because that's like saying
sorry for being real

never regret anything you
said or did

because at some point
it was what you wanted

true strength is being able
to hold it all together

when everyone else is
expecting you to fall apart..

One of the most important and mature things we can do, is to realize when we're on the wrong track, and at that very moment, LEAVE that track. To "hold it together" is often not a good decision. It is quite alright and even necessary to look back and regret some deeds or decisions; just not to repeat them.

never apologize
for saying what you feel


We often say sorry just because we know that what we said hurts others but being able to say it out loud is the hardest part of being who you are.

This is a very strong poem. Please keep writing! hugs!!

nice poem.

every time we(the people) say, "heart has the feelings, do what the heart says." but i cant understand that, heart only pump and beats it has no feelings only Brain that thinks, control,etc. but why we say that do what the heart says (mostly in love) why? i also have used it many times.
"it is not related to your poem" just a question.

but our is very interesting.
