To Be

What is there but to be what you are To be all you can be To love all you can love Why do we beat each other up over senseless things We worry about the trivial things Why do we do that when there are more important things Things that matter like friends, family, ourselves We need to be our selves before we can be anything else Because its hard to know who we are And even harder to be that person We can only try to the best of our abilities We should be one person and not have a mask A world where there is no hate no discrimination We need to just be ourselves and not anyone else.
