Don’t be. . .

Don’t be. . .

Don’t be the beauty to please my eyes,

instead be the wisdom to show me light.

Don’t be smile of my face,

instead be words to my thoughts.

Don’t be reason of my sleepless night,

instead be the shoulder on which I cry.

Don’t be my entire world,

instead be the only reason I stay up in this fake world.

Don’t be everything to me,

instead be something worth of everything.

Don’t be thoughts that may just fade away,

instead be the beautiful dream I live staying awake.

Don’t be someone you are not,

just be who you are and I‘ll be the best one you could have asked for. . .
