A Poet's View
SELF ACTUALIZATION

by Darshan © 1995


There’s no need to strive for perfection
‘Cause you’re perfect the way you are

There’s no need to look for outside affection
‘Cause if you look inside yourself it will not be far


There’s no need to change

To meet the expectations everyone puts on you
And though that may seem strange

It’s because you’ve been programmed to

Believe in a certain way about how you live your life

And act in a way others think you should

But all that does is cause stress and strife
And affects you in ways you never thought it could


Like causing you to think your self-esteem is low
Or that you’re insecure

Then it causes you to doubt what about yourself you know

And shuts down your efforts to ever go for more


So if you think you would like to improve

Do it for you and no one else
Because you have nothing to lose

By improving yourself

So when that all becomes clear inside your mind

You’ll become the person you’ve kept hidden
And a peace within yourself you’ll find

‘Cause now you know being you isn’t forbidden
