Finding The Real You

After you find out

What's really holding you back in life

Then you will defeat

The force of gravity

Conformity in disguise

As we speak

So you can live to be 

The person

You really want to be

Who is free to be

As can be

It's truly an inspirational poem.

[Dana Alsamsam]

i love your repetition of the word "be" because that in itself is the message of this poem... to just "be"

great work!

[Shivam Murari]

Getting rid of the things that hold us back....much easier said than done. But you are correct, it does make us free. This is a simple, but affective write that packs a punch. I really like its delivery.

Yes, but how do I figure out what is really holding me back? When you figure that one out, let me know... :) Great write, my friend.

I need to get one of those big foam fingers that says #1 Fan or something. :D

Not an easy thing to do. Took me a lot of years. Once I did though and surrounded myself with people that accept the real me and all my good and bad.. I have been a much happier person.

Great philosophical piece!
