Be Yourself
©Stormy Stevens 2003
Beauty is irrelevant
age is of the mind
Strength is what we make it
My health is mine
We are bombarded daily
to look a certain way
Why do we torture ourselves
instead of loving us every day?
You must love yourself
before another can, they say
Is avoiding the things you love
Denying yourself pleasures the way?
Why look like another
Just look like yourself
Be happy with what you got
Don't put parts of you on the shelf
Love yourself, for you are beautiful
Don't let anyone tell you different
Love yourself because your alive
and tell all those ad execs to get bent!

Stormy you know the answer to your own dilemna on "fighting for peace" and you posted it in this poem!
I find that I am at peace when I am creating art - and I really do forget that. I tend to get imeshed in the crap at work - in trying to stay alive. Sounds like you do the same thing... So do your art or writing - whatever gives YOU peace! Then you can handle the rest - the chaos that is out of our control. Just take care of you first.
I am subscribing... come over to my site to see my "PEACE 2004" which is a very postive new artwork.
