Be

Be iron-willed.

Be heroic.

Be optimistic.

Be considerant,

Be passionate, Be honest 

Be wise, Be impartial, Be absolute,

Be everything that is 

iron-willed

and heroic

and optimistic

and considerate

and passionate

and honest 

and wise

and impartial

and  absolute.

 

Be.

 

Strive for something that you are not. 

Strive to be fearless. 

Strive to be freed.

Strive for wealth.

Strive to be noticed.

Strive to be

 

Damn these fears

Damn society and all its builtup norms

 

Why can't I just be enough?

Why must I be afraid? 

Why must I be you?

Why can't I just be.
