Me: a be yourself poem to inspire self-belief. Be yourself, you can't be anybody else.

Me

His name’s Amir, he’d love to play guitar

like Isabelle, who never follows crowds

One day, he knows she’ll be a superstar

and he’ll be here still, head stuck in the clouds

And Isabelle, she can’t help being shy

but wishes she was popular like Jake

who makes the whole class laugh until they cry

The kind of music she will never make

But joker Jake, he hates to be class clown

He’s not as cheerful as he might appear

In seconds he’d give up his comic crown

to be the best at football like Amir

💡 Not always an easy task, but what if someone was to write a be yourself poem inspired by you. What qualities do you have that other people might admire? Can you write a be yourself poem about three different people who all want to be each other, not realising the qualities that they themselves possess? If you do write a Be Yourself poem, I 'd love to share them on the blog. Get in touch!
