Shine In Your Own Light

Don’t chase the echo in the hall,
Don’t shrink yourself to please them all,
The world was never meant to mould,
A soul like yours to fit the fold!

The crowd may march in a steady line,
But you were made to climb and shine,
To dance where no one is dared to go,
To plant your flag in virgin snow!

Your laugh, your voice, your blazing hue,
Are the brightest when it is wholly you,
No need to mask, no need to bend,
The truest self needs no pretend!

Some may not see the path you pave,
But you were not born to just behave,
You are the fire in a world of grey,
A spark that dares to light the way!

So, stand up tall and don’t disguise,
Magic glowing in your gorgeous eyes,
Be bold, be strange, be wild and free,
There is strength in your unique identity!

Enjoyed the rhymes and the sentiment
The world was never meant to mould,
A soul like yours to fit the fold!

Fine lines.

To dance where no one is dared to go, - should that be "has dared"?
