Be True To You

March 28, 2019

—

Sometimes, it’s best to speak up.
Sometimes, it’s best to be quiet.
Sometimes, it’s best to hold on.
Sometimes, it’s best to let go.
Sometimes, it’s best to be brave.
Sometimes, it’s best to be afraid.

Sometimes, it’s best to fight.
Sometimes, it’s best to refrain.
Sometimes, it’s best to be humble.
Sometimes, it’s best to show off.
Sometimes, it’s best to be alone.
Sometimes, it’s best to seek company.

Sometimes, it’s best to reveal.
Sometimes, it’s best to conceal.
Sometimes, it’s best to give.
Sometimes, it’s best to receive.
Sometimes, it’s best to be hard.
Sometimes, it’s best to be soft.

All the time, it’s best to be yourself.

This poem actually gives me new perspective of thinking and inspires me to write about something on my blog and the more people get to read your poem I think the better change will happen on their life’s.
