Stay Who You Are

Stay Who You Are


Trust yourself and stay who you are
Know others don't walk in your shoes
   and you will go far

Some people will love you
   want to be your friend
They will stay with you always
   friends till the end

Some people will dislike you
   be bullies and hate
Do not give them that much weight

Tears of hurt will fall down like rain
Focus on your strengths
   to get through the pain

The day will surely come when
   some will see
They lost out on a true friend
   missed the opportunity

You know your heart, where you want to be
Stay who you are, it is key

Remember it is your life, A Mansion
