What if I gave up the act?
If it all came down to me, just me.
Stop blaming.
Stop hurting.
Stop judging.
Just be.
—
And who would I be?
How far could I see?
And what would open up for me?
—
Put down the sticks,
You’ll pick up new tricks.
The challenge is to be, just be.
—
Be proud of the woman
Who sits before me.
Remember the 10 year-old,
Awkward, but free.
She needs you to be, just be.
—
Tell tales of my dad,
It’s okay to be sad,
He just wants to be free, so free.
—
Tell the truth when you speak
Doesn’t mean that you’re weak.
Your purpose is to be, just be.
—
Friends and family, they care.
But remember to share.
Open up again for me, just me.
—
And love, it’ll come.
Doesn’t just happen for some.
He’ll find me when I’m me, just me.
—
It’ll fit like a glove,
Tony said I’m easy to love.
I’ll believe it when I’m me, just me.
—
Work will come
When you reframe it as play-
And “the movement” might not happen today.
They’ll come running for me, just me.
—
So give it a try,And Philip, the guys?
And Philip, the guys?
The only way to know is to be, just be.
—
My 90 year old self
Tales of travel and wealth.
Because she remembered to be, just be.
—
The journey starts now,
Surrender, allow.
The only way in is with me, just me.
—
If I forget and I fall,
I know who to call.
Asking for help starts with me, just me.
—
And after all of this time,
And all of the rhymes,
The answer is
To be, just be, be me, for me.
