DON'T

Don't be afraid,

You told me,

To be you,

And to be it

Completely.

Don't ever stop,

You insisted,

Because someone said

It wasn't good,

Or wasn't good enough.

Don't walk away,

You taught me,

From a problem

Just because you're afraid

Of the solution.

Don't let friends go,

You warned,

Because of your own

Insecurities

And lack of self confidence.

Don't ignore wise words,

You finished,

Because you're afraid

That in being you,

You can't live up to them.
