Living Life Poetically: The Beauty of Self
The ability to be yourself is one of the most important and underrated things you can do in life. It helps to keep in mind that there’s only one of you. So going through your whole life as someone else would be such a waste of who you are. But many people do so, being overly self-conscious of what people would think if they were to let their true self show. “The Beauty of Self” is a short poem that encapsulates the beauty in being you.
The Beauty of Self

Making myself different
From the person I am,
I was ignorant of the beauty
In not giving a damn.
There’s beauty in being you,
No matter the opinion.
For being yourself is of upmost duty
When of you, there’s only one.
