You Are Who You Are


 

Help I’m tearing apart

I feel like someone is stabbing my heart

 

Fighting off negative thoughts is such a battle

Minds aren't an easy thing to settle

 

Why is everything for me so tough?

My life compared to others isn’t so rough

 

I also wonder if I will succeed

It is important that I put my mind at ease

 

Everyday is a little struggle

My patience wears thin that I might pop like a bubble

 

Nobody understands

I have to act like I’m the man

 

But I have people by my side

Friends and family who act like my guide

 

They are awesome and remind me that the world is awesome

No one is perfect, but we all slowly blossom

 

There are so many wonders in the world that inspire

The incredible creations made by human kind is something to admire

 

From the first kite to the first IPhone

From the first casserole to the first calzone

 

From the Egyptian Pyramids to the Eiffel Tower

From electricity to solar power

 

Everyone is different and unique

New ideas are shared each week

 

Everyone has a past

There is a spread of love that will ever last

 

Keep your head held high as if you’re the leader of the land

You will convince yourself and others that you are the man.
