What does it take for you to be “you”?!?
Some extra efforts ?Some opinions ?
Some consents ?Some “go with the flow”?
Some “everyone should like me?” Syndrome
What if I tell u that none of this really matters ?
What if your “you” wasn’t based on some random judgements that people make ?
What if it’s not what they say to you or behind your back?
What if it’s not the rumours about you ?
Just coz you have emotional needs different than others
Or you define love in your own way
Maybe you have your own plans for things
Or maybe your priorities are still hay way
Maybe coz u look different or feel different
Or Maybe coz you have to deal with your shizz in your own way
Even if your not perfect
Even if your not everyone’s Apple of the eye
Even if you don’t match the ideal person
That society has I don’t know how defined
It isn’t the perfect eyeliner that you put
Or the silky smooth straight hair that u recently got
Not the well built biceps and triceps
Not the perfectly toned abs
Not about the new car that you’ve bought
It the expensive gifts you purchase
Not about your social media followers
Or how much your looks can slay
None of this will change you a bit
None of this makes the perfect piece of your grid
You’ve walked your own journey
You’ve lived your own stories
Varied experiences that built you honey
All the happy times,and maybe little worries
It might be the way you approach people
Or the way you strike the conversation chords
The way you make them feel when your with them
Or maybe when your not around
Maybe how you surf over the difficult tides
Or maybe your theory about rotation of the earth
Maybe it’s about Times when people left you alone
Or times when People listened, but dint understand
About times when they dint respond the way you wanted
Or when they dint offer the support u intent
But , all this again, doesn’t change what makes you “you”
So may it be your pathetic poor jokes
Your aftermath over things
Your smile, your shine , your inner light
Your aura, your spirit
Your manners, your style
Your approach to people and other kind
Remember, what makes you “you”
Is precious of all , in all that while
Cherish it, live it,grow with time
Whatever be the time or tide
