be you.


You don’t have to be me to be you

 

Honey and sugar are both sweet

But they don’t look alike

 

You don’t have to be her to be you

 

Roses and sunsets are both beautiful,

But they don’t look alike

 

You don’t have to be him,

To be you.

 

Butterflies and rainbows are both eye-catching,

But they don’t look alike

You don’t have to be me to be you

You don’t have to be them to be you

Quit acting like a clone.
