Don'T Be

Don’t be second choice
Be first,
If you’re not, it will be the worst.

Know your worth,
While here, on this earth.
Kissing many toads.
Before the prince
That’s enough
To make you wince.

Don’t be last choice
Make it known
And you will rejoice.
Stand up proud
And be loud.

Never settle,
For what you think is good,
Settle for great,
Going into womanhood.

Take nothing less
Along the way,
You will have success.

Don’t be fake to impress,
Be yourself and express.

Some will hate you,
Some will like you,
Some will love you,
Through and through.

This is known
To be true.
