Myself

Why can’t I just be me? Why should I care what people see Voices say wear this, act like that So what if I don’t integrate, and not part of the pack I have my own style and look The cover, isn’t what’s always in the book Sense of myself is mine to seek Don’t think to back me into a corner To categorise me, as if I’m weak My method is my individuality Don’t try and judge my mentality I don’t need the fashions or trends to impress It’s not up to you how I behave or dress Uniqueness is what makes us grand Why be part of the herd, dull and bland We are the ones people will remember Better to glow among coal like ember Just accept me, instead of condemn That being said, now, how do I tell them.
