Define Yourself

You aren’t how the world defines you
they can’t see the tragedies and pain you’ve been through

Every tear that’s left your eyes has got a reason

But your sadness only lasts for a season

Your smile holds back the memories nobody will know

When given the time I’m sure you will show

The greatness inside of you

It’s just trying to find a way through

To shine all over the world

Your name isn’t a plural

There’s only one of you forever

Just do the world a favor

Show them what it means to define yourself

Give them a feeling they’ve never felt

It’s easy to give up

But you’ve been strong from the start

Be yourself so the world will know

That there’s a beauty you don’t tend to show

A beauty that makes you smile

Define yourself

Not like the people did before

Every scar is a lesson learned

Not a regret from your yesterdays

Don’t go out of your way

To change who you are just for some friends

Who you are is beautiful in every single way

No matter what people tend to say

Define yourself before it’s too late

And you’re not stuck with your own fate.
