Just be you

Talk of positivity, of peace and hope and change,
Yet living in your box in a life with limited range.
If you really care for others why don't you help in silence,
Why do you need approval ? that care is just pretence.
Is that picture for others ?, does your heart alone not capture ?,
Is it good if people like it yet if they don't you have no  rapture ?.
Why is the opinion of others what guides you on your way ?,
Can't you shine for others no matter what people say ?.
You'll meet those who don't like you no matter how you try, And there are people who will love you without the question why.
Others thoughts should not define you, if they do then where's your truth ?,
Do you know yourself if your mind is so obtuse ?.
There is no one else like you, that's the beauty I see, 
Every souls unique, and not above nor below me.
Influence can guide you but only you control your mind,
Know your own voice, don't let others make you blind.
Help in silence, love without fear,
Be true to yourself, its really that clear.
Stop being programmed, speak from your heart,
From here you'll find freedom, let your life start.
