means it isn’t something that eludes you,
It requires you just to be
you as only you can do.
The art of authenticity
means you will open up and share,
The things that are on your heart
that are stored from the well in there.
The art of authenticity
means it only comes from you,
It isn’t forced or demanded from
a source outside your view.
The art of authenticity
means there is not another mold,
That can make the original you are
when there isn’t one to hold.
The art of authenticity
means to be creative in being you,
In all the things you like
and say, think and do.
The art of authenticity
means that you will be completely true,
To all the colors that there are
so deep inside of you.
The art of authenticity
means that you can never be fake,
Because to be something different than you are
would be an intrusion you can’t take.
The art of authenticity
means I will accept and love me for me,
To try to create something else
is to put my value upon the shelf.
The art of authenticity
means I honor you and me,
For when we see each other as we are
we show more love beyond the stars.
