BE YOURSELF

The world would like to change you;
There are pressures all around.
You must decide just who you are,
Then firmly hold your ground.

You have an image of yourself
An ideal sense of you;
And to this vision you must always
Struggle to be true.

You know what you are good at,
And you know where your strengths lie;
but if you’re ruled by others.
Your uniqueness would pass by.

Remember, there is much to learn,
But all new things aren’t good.
Wisdom lies in what you’ve learned,
and what you have withstood.

So, be yourself and don’t allow,
The world to take control.
Preserving your identity
Is precious goal.
