\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nKnow Thyself<\/span>\n
\n

\n A soft manifesto for the performative age. Know yourself, but not too well. Love, but keep it tidy. Create, but let it misbehave. This poem walks the line between sincerity and satire, inviting you to laugh gently, post boldly, and exit without explanation. The truth? It\u2019s optional. The look? Essential.\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Know self, love self
Laugh, create, collaborate
Love, honour, aid relief
Give, save, cause no grief<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know thyself, but not too deep
Your soul\u2019s unwell? Just let it sleep.
Love your quirks, ignore your flaws,
Beauty isn’t theirs\u2014it’s yours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laugh with grace, but not too loud
Joy should never shame a crowd.
Build a soul that won’t conform,
Then set it loose and feel the warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love with honor, aid with care,
Practice, practice, anywhere.
Post your truth then take a bow,
The moment\u2019s gone, you\u2019re done for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you stumble, don\u2019t explain\u2014
Just get up and start again.
Truth\u2019s a thread you needn\u2019t weave\u2014
Just wear that look and take your leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know self, love self
Laugh, create, collaborate
Love, honour, aid relief
Give, save, cause no grief<\/p>\n\n\n\n
