Friends with eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart to feel Will know you Will support you Will heal you Will care for you Time to be yourself And not be concerned about the opinions of others Remember sticks and stones Can hurt you But not words Opinions contain ideas that Can be manipulated Translated and desecrated They wash away Like mud off a footpath Opinions are none of your business They are the business of rumour and conjecture First impressions don’t discover the real person Underneath That takes time Be you Be you Be you Be your own reality Feelings are like opinions They come and go They Can Be stored up and released Anger, fear, sadness, happiness They wash through your mind, they are feelings They cause emotions They can hurt or help In your mental ocean They surge and recede like the tide You can’t stop them Don’t try Be you Be you Be you
