Be Yourself
Why would you want to be someone else
When you could be better by being yourself
Why pretend to be someone you are not
When you have something they haven't got
Cheating yourself of the life you have to live
Deprives others of that only which you can give
You have much more to offer by being just you
Than walking around in someone else's shoes
Trying to live the life of another is a mistake
It is a masquerade; no more than a fake
Be yourself and let your qualities show through
Others will love you more for being just you
Remember that God loves just as you are
To Him you are already a bright shining star
Family and friends will love you more too
If you spent time practicing just being you

Hi Samrina,
We should all be ourselves, and not try to fit in with everyone else, as those who honestly care for us will accept us for who and what we are.
Very good words Samrina! :-)
assertive and inspiring :-)
Cheer!
Hi Samrina !
