Less is More
When you converse with someone
Open up your eyes and see
The person standing before you and me
They aren’t hidden away in the shadows
Of insecurity and self built criticism
They are real humans
As real as you and I
Tell yourself to hold your chin up high
And be brave enough to take a lunge forward
Say what is truly on your mind
Don’t flutter away to silly thoughts of fearful questions
That travel at lightening speed within the young mind
Say what is truly on your mind
And you then step back and listen
Say what you mean
Stop when you are done
And you will discover
That you have unlocked portals unseen before
Within the friend before you
Of magic, light and life
True synergy is your destiny
And you will never not be glad
To have followed your own heart
And been your true persona
Because the person you must learn to respect first
Is always your own self
