My Manifesto (a poem)

Don't be scared.
Be thankful.
Be joyful.
Be the brightness for those who cannot see.
Be the hope for those who cannot dream.
The cuddle for those who are hugless.
The breath for those who are weary.
Be good, strong, kind and alive.
Be wise, well and wonderstruck.
Be an influence, not an influencer.
Show them it's good to be nice,
and it's nice to be good.
Show them it's cool to be hot,
and it's hot to be cool;
it's fun to be free,
and it's free to be funny.
Show them your true self.
Be you, and help them be them.
Just be.
