to be or not

to whom it may not concern 
each one of us is 
as one prefers to
and / or believe 
he /she has  to be

until something happens 
or someone passes by and says 
thank you, that’s enough! 
or doesn’t say anything at all
just passes by and goes

so, 
why insist, why persist? 
why? 

better not be as you assume you should  be
or how others want you to be
or presume you have to be

you better be!
 as it happens, 
momentarily 
somewhere

since that is the real gift 
the only true reward and the most beautiful one of all
when the curtains of the night close down on our daily show 

be 
happy
 now 
somewhere 
not knowing why
not bothering how you are for everyone or for no one at all! 
just be!
happy to be and nothing else 
and 
come what may
