be who you are.

i am moving.
moving in this world
to the beat of my heart.
while you,
you move to the others beat.
you move to make others see,
what you can't see,
because you are blinded.
you are blinded by the lies they cast,
the shadows they create,
the impossible pictures that they paint.
you, you are stuck
in this place where you can't create.
you are a soldier ant.
moving when they say,
doing what they do.
but why,
do this for you.
do this because you are you.
because you are here to be something more.
because someone loves you more than you know.
what you love is what you need.
they won't keep you happy.
it's all a game, a tiring, endless,
mindless, kindergarten game.
a game where you lose.
you empty the bottle and you lose.
you fill up those veins and you lose.
you lay by that toilet and you lose.
that razor blade falls to the floor and you lose.
they win.
they watch you suffer and they move on.
their prey is waiting while they load up the gun.
while you sit alone in your room.
you sit alone and you wonder what went wrong.
how did you end up here.
that butterfly flew by and you couldn't see.
the beauty didn't move you like before.
you're scared but don't you hold your breath.
breathe deep and move on.
you are strong and vibrant.
that rainbow in that painting can be you.
show them who are you.
be what you dream.
don't settle for the the failure.
rise up and give it one more go.
because you, you  are beautiful.
you are magnificent, like that first shooting star.
you are unique in so many ways.
so put down that bottle,
put down that needle,
put down the blade
put it down and look in the mirror.
see who you are.
because who you are is gorgeous.
so get up and go,
go move, move in this world,
move in this world to your own beat.
