Hey you!
Be unapologetically you,
For you’re the one;
That nobody else can ever become.

The essence of your soul,
The beauty that your eyes behold;
Nobody can ever steal it from you,
Even if they try to camouflage it all.

Some will bog you down,
With what they will call their care;
Some will laugh at your back ,
For all the falls alone that you bear.

So be you,
For they can never experience it the way you do;
When your heart skips a beat ,
Every time when you try something new.

Everybody else is an audience without a ticket in your life;
Judging you with with their opinions as sharp as knife.

As this life is too short to be wasted by paying heed to opinions of a few;
So for yourself be who you ever wanted to be,
A fierce water fall or a beautiful morning dew!
