Why do you want to be my friend? Why do you want to be in the skin I am in?
Or living my life that's fitting me? Aren't you pleased? Are you where you want to
really be?
Yes we were created equal but you are you and I am me and it's the uniqueness
of each that best defines our special qualities.
Don't shorten yourself by following the pattern I set; you lessen the chance of
changing the earth with your own original mind set.
Why do you mime my time with your different flare. Don't be ashamed of your own
skin or your textured hair.
Don't waste precious minutes breathing used air, but show who you are within
your atmosphere.
Remember it's cool and ok that you want to be friends with me but be yourself,
who you you really are and then you can appreciate all of the wonderful things to
share while you get to know....me.
