A poem by Melissa Lemay of ‘Mom with a Blog’
Be yourself
with egg on your face;
in the dark;
naked by the pool.
Be yourself
under the stars
on the wings
of Falkor.
No one else
has that same
dimple on their
left cheek; no
one else’s freckles
spot the same.
So be yourself
in Mossflower
Wood, or with
the Gawtrybe,
misunderstood,
helpful in
the end. You are
already
worthy–it was
determined
before birth, your
heart written sure.
Be yourself
at doctor’s of-
fice, or in
grocery store,
coffee shop
counting out change
in your hand.
Only yourself.
For you can’t be
anyone else.
