Just Be You

You can shave off all your hair
Or put it up in a weird hairdo.
You can put on fancy clothes
And act like someone else.
You can pretend to be someone else
Like your favorite hero.

But the end result
Will not change who you are.
So instead of trying to be
Someone you are not,
Work on finding out
Who you really are.
