To Thyne Own Self Be True

To Thyne Own Self Be True

When you think youve reached a dead end
In life .. simply choose a new direction~
Theres a million doors yet to open
That need no effort for detection~
To quit is not the answer
Choose another way to go~
Theres a new life waiting for you
People who will love you so~
Its all a question of truth and destiny
To find the reasons you were born~
What youv to do within your lifetime
Every day from dawn till dawn~
Dont ever be discouraged by the quitters
Know in your heart you diserve the best~
Search for it honestly and deliberately
Know youv got what it takes to pass the test~
If you need to calm the restlessness
Take a long look at your needs~
Walk out from the swamp onto lifes highway
And never return again to the reeds~
Once you lose sight of your dreams in life
And your deepest emotional needs and feelings within~
You know then that its time , yours and mine
To think of yourself and thats not a sin~
If youv no tears left to cry then who are you
When you no longer care your as good as dead~
Then a whole life of love and destiny
Wasted ...ended ...put to bed~
All the answers to lifes questions are waiting
For you to press on , seek and find~
And if you lose interest in searching
your chances of happiness then left behind~
Creation and creating never ceases
As we all create every day~
And know you do too , Your needed its true
So go get it , do it in your way~
But one things for sure you do matter
And your loved by just more than a few~
So keep it in mind , never leave this behind
Always , To thyne own self be true~.
