What is it you’re waiting for
The mountain to come to you
Time to get your life in gear
To do what you must do

Cast aside the trappings
The shell that held you in
Time to be a butterfly
Your new life must begin

Find a new vocation
And change the path you’re on
Coat with paint the canvas
Until all the pain is gone

Flex your wings there’s something new
A direction you must try
Time to show the world what is really you
It’s time for you to fly

About the Poem – The Real You

The Real You is an inspirational poem by Robert Longley about discovering who you actually are.  Sometimes you have to go exploring to find yourself.  You aren’t going to figure things out waiting for life to come to you.

Inspirational Poetry Books

Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

Inspirational Poetry Products

While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
