Dare to be who you are

Dare to be who you are 

People will cheat you ,
People will ridicule you ,
People will malign you ,
Don't bother ,dare to be who you are !! 

Say what you ought to say ,
Do what you ought to do ,
Protest when you ought to protest ,
Don't bother ,dare to be who you are !! 




Stand up for the oppressed ,
Fight for the fraudulently disgraced ,
Corner the deceitful double - faced 
Don't bother ,dare to be who you are !! 



Pray for justice to prevail ,
Know that peace it entails ,
Fear not the ghastly tales ,
Don't bother , dare to be who you are !! 

Attempt to follow the unexplored trails ,
As you go by tighten your sails ,
Never  afraid of the whining gales ,
Go as you should ,
Daring to be who you are !!
