Be You
don’t pretend to be
something you can’t be
Even though you feel
like you have to
don’t lie to anyone
about who you are
you only have to impress yourself
no one else but you
strive to be perfect
in your eyes
live to be you
not who people want you to be
just be you,
and you will be happy
And that’s all that counts.
