On Trying To Impress

From our desire to impress We create ourselves as fakes Putting on a false beauty For all others to see Hoping that's what it takes For other eyes to see us best In doing this you may Loose whom you want to find Whom you were trying to impress With fancy clothes and fancy dress For now you end up in a bind As no attention to you they pay Instead try being you Don't try to go all out To look cute or beautiful As your true self is wonderful So next time you go about Be yourself that's all you have to do
