Be yourself, that's my message, in a world ruled by influence

By celebrities, YouTube, and the media

"Why be intelligent if it's nerdy?"

"Why sing if I could get bullied?"

People waste their potential if it means being different

They mold themselves into stereotypes because it makes them "cool"

The "popular" are hated, the "nerds" are frowned upon

Worried about their image although the image is wrong

Be yourself, that's all I ask, and if you're still not convinced

Would you rather be popular playing someone you're not

Or still be you but eclipsed

Every day I see people

Judging themselves by the thoughts of others

Because if they are different in any way

They find themselves in the gutter

Be yourself, it's really true

Because in some ways, self-confidence is good

And in all ways, you are too.
