Know Thyself

You are more than just your cover

All you need to do is, uncover.

You are a soul, full of hope

Beautiful, like a musician’s lyrical note,

You are a heart full of alluring dreams

And a treasure trove of many skills.

Like the mysterious Pandora’s box

You hold within, numerous gifts,

You are a candle, the carrier of light

So do not confuse, and lose sight.

You are a pillar, strong and sturdy

Standing firm, throughout the journey,

You are a pen, powerful and mighty

Writing your story, even if it’s flighty.

Like a bulb luminous, you glow

You defy the gloom and just flow,

You are a rainbow, motley

Cheering the self and all, merrily.

So, you are more than just your cover

And all you need to do is, discover.
