You

Atop of the sea

Or next to a star

Wherever you are

You are


Still you

It’s true

The new view

Doesn’t change you


You could be on a mountain

Or down in a canyon

You are still you


Alone in a dark room

Or in the madness of crowds

You are you


When the wave

Crashes into your body

Still

Hold on to you


When the crowds try to change you

And nature molds you

Stay true

Because you

Are uniquely you.


Many feet

Have walked this dirt

But not until you took your first step

Did the dirt know you


When the dark room haunts you

And being alone with you

Is the last thing you want to do

And true doesn’t seem true

Still…

You are you


You have choices in the chaos

You have light in the darkness


Led cannot be turned into gold

Without a dash of suffering, magic, belief–

And also,

Unless you stay true to you.


-C.H.
