Shining Brighter Everyday

As long as you are 'real'
With a sense of 'self' and identity...
Don't worry about those that aren't!
They have enough problems today,
Trying to maintain what they've gained
Through false pretenses,
Shared with turned up noses!
And that for them has to be difficult...
Since the 'realities' they have lived,
Seem to be attracting more flies than honey these days!
And for you to be as genuine as you are...
You are shining brighter everyday!
Walk away.
With pride and dignity intact!
