Be Yourself
The world will like to change you,
There are pressures all round you,
You must decide just who you are,
Then firmly hold your ground.
You have an image of yourself,
An ideal sense of who you are;
Add to this vision,
You must always struggle to be true.
You know what you’re good at,
And you know where your talent lies;
But, if you’re ruled by others,
Your uniqueness could pass by!
Remember: there is much to learn;
But, all new things aren’t good;
Wisdom lies in what you have learned,
And what you have to withstand.
So, be yourself,
And don’t allow others to take control;
Preserving your identity
Is life’s most precious goal!
