Be yourself…
for every other role
in this vast theater of life
has already been cast...

Every mask you try to wear
belongs to someone else’s story.
Every borrowed voice
echoes with another soul’s truth.

You were born
with a rhythm all your own,
a light no imitation can replace,
a story only your heart can tell.

Do not shrink
into someone else’s shadow.
Do not silence the music
that lives in your soul.

Because the world does not need
another imitation�"
The world is waiting
for the courage of you...

why live as a whisper of someone else,
When you were born to roar as yourself?
The world is exhausted by imitations.
It is hungry for the raw, unedited, authentic YOU.

Take off the mask.
Stop looking at the script.
Be yourself�"everyone else is already taken.
Carl Nicolas.
