Authenticity
The hidden fingerprint that marks our uniqueness
Everywhere you turn, you see people striving so hard to sound like others, to dress like them, to build like them.
You look at the work of the artist down the street and yet not a single stroke carries his unique touch.
You listen to the songs of musicians but all you hear is the same rhythm, same melody, same beat.
We are caught up in a world trying so hard to shed it's skin and embrace the skin of another.
Oh spoken word artist, you don't have to sound like IB Quake, dear gospel artist, you don't have to sound like Min. Theophilus, dear writer, you don't have to copy another.
Be you, the real authentic you.
let your being flow into all that you do, let your distinct sound be heard, you don't have to be another.
Be you, uniquely you.
