They always tell,
“Get out of your shell.”
When you speak your mind
They turn deaf and blind.
Appear to be feeble
They will throw every pebble.
Act like you’re strong
They will brand you wrong.
They laugh at what you wear
Because they say they care.
A smirk pasted on their lips
As they bury you deep.
It’s not enough that you’re drowning
They'd rather see you not living.
They would even blow a kiss
As you fall into the abyss.
Honesty is their fuel
They speak casually cruel.
They love to put on a show
But what do they know?
Flout their words
And live your world.
As rubbish as rubble
They are unworthy of the trouble
You are nobody’s double.
Sweep away the blue
The shame is on them, not on you.
Feel free to reveal your hue
Attest that you are true
After all, you are you.
***
Be happy. Be who you want to be.
If others don't like it, then let them be.
Happiness is a choice.
Life isn't about pleasing everybody.
