Be Anything
Be anything
But don't be that
Dress yourself
But not in such a fashion
Love anyone
But only who is deemed acceptable
Express yourself
But only within defined lines
Accept everyone
But don't let them into your home
Love yourself
But only if you're a model
Befriend everybody
But the ones you currently call friends
Be true to yourself
But lie to everyone else
And at the very end
See that by conforming
You became a clone
A regurgitation of yesterday's fallacy
Be anything
But don't be that
