YOU

Arthur Cuevas

Free verse
Being yourself is best thing you can do
just accept yourself,
For you are the only you
You may not realize it when times are tough
But truly you will always be more than enough

You are the only one who can stop and say, that you will not have it any other way
Accept yourself for you are you
Even when the sky seems to be blue
Don’t ever stop saying that you aren’t you

I have found me and I hope you can too.
