Be Your Own You

Sometimes it's hard to be part of the crowd
Just to impress others you never knew, 
And so the best thing to do to make others like you, 
Is to be yourself and only you. 
If you try to be like someone else
It won't make your life much livable, 
So if you want to be popular with your friends,
You should be unique and original. 
There's no need to follow the in-crowd,
And copying them is not okay to do. 
It's much more fun and satisfying
When you try something new. 
If you try too hard to make others happy, 
They'll see you as nothing more than a zero. 
If some people around you just don't need help, 
Sometimes you have to be your own hero.
Why should you worry about fitting in
When you were born to stand out?
Today, be thankful for who you are.
That's what being different is all about. 
Be smart by using your own brain to think, 
And be comfortable in your own shoes, 
Life is a highway, and you can steer yourself
In any direction you choose.
Be who you are and say what you feel,
Because those who matter don't mind, 
And those who do mind don't matter, either
But all that matters is that you try. 
If you make friends with yourself,
You will never be alone, 
You can be your own favorite person
With a heart of gold instead of stone. 
Be your own boss and be in charge of yourself, 
If you're tired of working for someone else's dreams. 
A brand new world awaits you
And it's not as bad as it seems. 
To be happy, you must be your own sunshine
Even if you don't have the best in anything.
Enjoy every minute of your life
And make the best of everything. 
Compare yourself only to who you were in the past,
And be your own competition. 
Life is a constant battle, 
But you know that you will win. 
Even though you might want to follow the crowd,
It might be difficult to do.
So be happy for who you are
And just be your own you.
