You Do You, Boo


You are NOT an it. 

You are NOT like her.

You are NOT me.

You are so much more.

I wonder why you never quit.

I wonder why you even have to try.

I wonder why you are so much better than me.

But I know why.

Cause you are it.

Cause you are her.

And I aspire to be you.

So don't get pulled down in shame of your beauty.

BE YOU. 

And you should being doing you, Boo.
