There is absolutely no reason at all
To pretend for someone else.
No matter how nice they may seem,
Or how cool they may be
They’re worth nothing
In the overall scheme of things
If you aren’t able to be you.
Because in the end
They won’t know you
They won’t need you.
They’ll look for that girl.
That girl who always
Knew what to say.
That girl who always
Held her head high.
That girl who didn’t seem
To have a single flaw.
And in the end,
They’ll see you,
And then they’ll
Judge you anyways,
And leave you stranded and alone.
So be you.
Be shy, be timid,
Let your hair fall over your eyes.
Be weird, be crazy.
Dance like no one is looking.
But most of all,
Be happy and love your life
Laugh so hard your sides hurt,
even if others frown.
Have a good time when
Everyone else is being a bore.
And don’t be afraid to stand out.
Because how will true friends find you
If you’ve blended into the crowd.
