Be yourself

When there is a beauty which can burst from your skin,
It will show off all the colours that are hiding within.
Some might be your favourite, some might be mine. .
But they will all show, in a matter of time.
Each colour has a story. Something to tell,
They shine through the cracks and holes in your shell
At first they are beautiful , and then they will blend
when they can smudge together , and you can no longer pretend.
