Stay True to You: A Poem by Miranda

This is a poem I have stuck in my head. I wrote it all down and here’s what it said:

Staying true to oneself is easier said than done.
Following the crowd can be just too much fun.

You forget who you are and what you might enjoy,
Moving on with the crowd, trying not to annoy.

All the while a talent, deeply hidden,
Goes undiscovered, a special gift you were given.

With each day you ignore your special gift,
The more you find yourself lost, adrift.

Strive not to please those who don’t truly care.
Work with what you love, the gift you can share.

By finding your knack, your niche, or your talent,
You succeed, you’ll win, and you’ll truly be gallant.

You’ll be grateful by the end of some stressful long day,
That you stayed true to you, no matter what others might say.
