You get made fun of,
For being yourself,
Yet when you act like your popular,
You feel like someone else.

You act so different,
At school than at home,
That your friends think your two-faced,
And stay away from your harm.

And when you take your fake self
A little too far
With a crush who is taken
And knows who you are

He seemed to have stopped talking
Or texting you after that
And wont even look up
Or move his face from his hat

To look into your eyes
And see your sorry for a fact
And after you dont talk for days and weeks alone
Yoi start to realize this isnt an act

So you be yourself and everything you can
For the truth is far better than popularity
So be yourself, give it all you got
And when you do all you can, you'll acheive a lot.

This is true and inspiring to me. I found out recently that being yourself is the best and never change yourself to fit it. There will always be someone who likea you for you and never give up trying to find them.
