3.2.16

the god you've created

To thine own self be true
Romeo and Juliet
Be true like the wine and bread

True to yourself,
But only if it's true to his God
To thine own self;
Be true to Him
Worship Him as a god

Be true to thine own self, if a woman loves a man
For if a Montague and a Capulet love each other then so be it
Let it be written as an epic love story.

For if a woman and another love each other,
She and she be damned.

Be true to thine leader
Not to thine own self

Deny thyself if you are a boy longing for another
A man longing for a man

Deny thyself if doubts arise
Silence your curiosity

To thine own self be true
But only if He approves

  1. have you seen the '68 Romeo and Juliet with Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting? This poem reminded me of that movie. Beautiful poem.

  2. "To thine own self be true
    But only if He approves"

    Such a true and complicating topic. Really makes you think.
