Believe in you!
People matter more than things
Despite the pursuit of monetary gain
Of material things
Of accolades
Of coming first in the popularity stakes
Of friendships won and friendships lost
The truth cannot be suppressed without cost
It will be set free
Show your colours
Who are thee
Even the angels are confused
People matter more than things
Not how they look but deep within
Things that remain on sight unseen
Yet surface involuntarily to expose the true self
Whether purity or blemished
Not one can remain scar free
Having lived any kind of life
Not hidden away from strife
Fearful and fretful
Be bold be free
Ask yourself
Who matters most?
Them or me
People matter more than things
Yet not for servitude
Or folly
To feed the ego
Or acquire monopoly over thoughts
Of minds
Ambitions
Desires
Yet not to halt your ability for self expression
An opinion is great
But not to become an obsession
Of what is thought by others
Of you
Care not
Matters what
You believe in you
