It’s Time for You to Be You by Len Lawson

This blog entry is devoted to integrity and individuality in writing. A poem from my debut poetry book The Very Least of Me speaks to these themes. 

to be you

you 

well you’re you

but you want to 

be me too

and you

well you’re you 

yet I want to

be like you

now you,

you’re you

but still can I be like you

too?

listen, you

be you

but just let me be you

too

you’re you

and I’m you

we’ll be you

and me too

now we’re you

I’m me too

no room for you

too

goodbye, you

I’m you

oh, you

should have just been you

My blog from the South Carolina Writers Workshop website below speaks clearly to writer integrity and individuality. It serves as an encouragement to writers.
