Who Will I Be?
How many times have you heard that saying "Just be yourself". When you are worried about a job interview you are told "just be yourself". You are anxious about that blind date you are told "just be yourself". So I asked myself the question. What self will I be?
Just Be Yourself
Just be yourself is what they say
what do I have to lose?
But I have so many different selves
so, which one shall I choose?
Maybe my paranoia self
that everybody talks about.
Or what about my anxious self
nervous and full of doubt.
Then I have my addictive self
in a glass the answer lies
The next is my depressive self
who just curls up and cries.
I wonder where the answer lies
in which one I should be.
I think I’ve found the answer
I’m the keeper of the key.
I can be just who I want to be
on any given day.
The choice is mine, only I decide
who is coming out to play.
And that is where the answer lies
In the choices that I make.
I can be the best I can
the decisions mine to take.
So, when they say just be yourself
I know just what to do.
By being honest and authentic
my real self will shine through.
