Show It Off

Wanting to be heard, wanting someone to care,
But yet always drowning in the background.

When is time to break free, get your own spotlight,
Move up to the front, walk up and yell here I am.

Stand out in every possible way,
Put your hair up and wear bright colors that scream who you are.

Let that neon shirt smell of confidence,
And the headband harass anyone who dares to question you.

Have confidence in yourself, it gives you an edge, confidence is key,
show it off let them see it, and once they do, they'll be the background for you to shine upon.
