Just Be Who You Are

I tried to change my life, so I fit in But still I am another outcast in the crowd I wanted to be liked and just to have friends But I was only another face in the picture I have been through all the rough times That you probably never knew of And I took my life down the road less traveled So black, damp, and cold with a candle to light my way I have lacked the self-esteem and never had the confidence And the diet pills never seemed to change the way I felt I tried to change my appearance so I could fit in But I still sat in the corner So shut away from the world, I am not me anymore I once tried to be like you but I cannot do that to myself anymore For the pieces lay everywhere like shattered glass That no one can pick up and piece back together I am sorry I have done this to myself And I want to say that I never told you because you would disapprove The only advice that I can give is the words I barely heard: “Please, Just Be Who You Are”
