Be You


They say you must fit in double zero,

But that doesn't define the person in the mirror.

Tell me about your superhero,

Now, tell me is it becoming clearer?

It's not the brand of clothes, shoes or makeup,

It's the way you feel when you wake up.

It's not the way you style your hair,

It's the way you walk when you go anywhere.

So close the apps, shut off your phone,

Celebrities aren't any different from you.

Celebrities are idolized, seperated, and alone,

Don't believe what you here, it's often not true.

So keep being you, 

And do what you do.
