❛ to live, first
you must be

to be, or not to be
as Shakespeare said once

to be the what?

be the you that has not been before
be not the you that is in others' eye
be the you that is in your mind

the one that you might lock in your heart,
for your fear of others taking you apart

but fear no more, for here is safe
safe to be, or not to be

and then you shall live ❜
