To thine own self, be true, and let that shine,
A beacon authentic, pure, and divine.
No masks, no pretenses, no veiled design,
Just genuine soul, in every word and sign.
For only then, can another see the truth,
And choose, with open heart, their own youth.
No deception, no manipulation's sleuth,
Just freedom to decide, with conscious ruth.
In vulnerability, we find our strength,
And give the other, the gift of length.
To choose or not, with eyes wide open at length,
To love or leave, with heart and soul's consent.
So let your authenticity be your guide,
And trust, the other's choice, will be their pride.
