To Be : To be strong: A mind so bold, A heart so brave. A thought of pure gold, Never willing to change. To be weak: An evil task, To not be yourself, Looking always, for the drink in the flask, Breaking down and getting no help. To be right: To live to the fullest, Never be greedy, Abide by the rule list, Don't be too needy. To be wrong: To think yourself unimportant, Hurting more people, Than yourself and, Calling yourself "cheapo" To be smart: Thinking before your actions, Changing from bad to good, Making a good transaction, Realizing you're not actually "hood" To be stupid: To create a bad rep, Just to be cool and a bad ass, To not take the test, Of #life, that you now fail at. To be YOU: Never accept criticism, From anyone other than yourself, Take I to consideration, realism, Then evaluate ones self. To NOT be you: Sinking down to another level, Becoming who you need not be, Don't think it's any trouble, To ask yourself "who's me" To succeed: To be who you wanna be, Live and be you, For all eternity, To yourself, Become true. To fail: To never achieve, According to you, You were never meant to be, And you can't figure out what to do. JayAllen December 25th, 2013
