Don't be afraid

In Poems

Don’t be afraid

To be yourself,

The world may tell

You to change,

Don’t listen,

Be yourself.

~

Don’t be afraid

To show you care,

It’s okay to cry,

It’s okay to feel.

No matter what

The world says,

Don’t be afraid.

~

Let the world know

That you have

Something to say,

Shout it out,

Don’t be afraid.

~

Leave a mark,

A trace, a sign,

Tell the world

You were here,

Don’t be afraid.

~

You shouldn’t fear

The world,

It should respect you,

Don’t be afraid.

Hey Fire!
Once again you have blown me away with your writing. So far, from what I can tell, your work is very personal and relatable. Which is AWESOME! Good job because it is really tough to make things appeal to others. At least for me anyways.
With this piece, I would have to say my favourite is the second verse. It is really well done and is definitely true. I posted a quote on my wall a while ago and this work reminded me of it. It was, “I would rather be one person’s shot of whiskey than everyone’s cup of tea.” Be who you are and if someone has a problem with you, their loss.
Anyway, good job!
Your friend,

Hi! It's Horisun, (And my brother) Here for a review!
This will be quick because honestly, this poem is really good! The only thing I feel could be changed is I wish you didn't separate certain sentances, it broke the flow of the whole thing. There wasn't much else I didn't like, you did a really good job, and this poem was very uplifting!
Keep writing, and enjoy doing it!

It's okay to cry... It's okay to feel...
@FireSpyGirl, you have me in tears, again... Everything you have said is so true. I am struggling with the fact that sometimes my friends think I am unbreakable.... They say that I can't cry because I am perfect. I always have to have everything put together, and that's just not the way I want to be seen. I am human too. I shouldn't have to change anything about me to get the approval of the world. My heart is beautiful, and if they don't see that, it's their issue. You are a really great writer, and have again left me with my thoughts. Just be you... Because you are..... AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! You are imperfectly perfect and who you are meant to be. The right people WILL notice that. Great job on this piece. It is truely beautiful and inspiring. I have learned so much from you and I'm so glad we are friends. See ya around.
'Tato out. :D

Thank you so much my friend!
