Keep it simple.

Keep it simple.

Life is complicated enough

Without intellectualising

And over analyzing

Every single thing.

Tell me, for the sake of argument,

Why do you do that?

What purpose does it serve?

When the first person

You need to impress,

And the last person

You will ever fool,

Is yourself.

The harder you try

The easier it is to fail

That particular, unsympathetic

And unscientific, litmus test.

Every time there is an additional

Consideration,

Over and above

The original thought...

Which in truth

And when it comes down to it,

Is only done to illustrate

There is more to you

Than meets the eye...

The more fraudulent

And inauthentic

Your feelings will become.

Stay close to who you are

And what you know to be true,

That will say more about you

And keep the message,

The soft underlay, of all your meaning

Inherently honest.

You may never be an academic,

A bone fide scholar

Einstein or Shakespeare,

Invent a new world order.

But whoever did that

And what good did it do.

Originality is a rare gift,

It lies in truth

And is within the province

Of children.

Nurture yourself

As you would them,

And be true to

The dreams of the child

That resides in you.

They know the words

And all of the tunes

To the simple songs,

And they too,

Would like the chance

To hear you...

Sing.
