I want to tell you to be brave
to step away from that brick wall
and seek the friendship that you crave
by showing the world you stand tall.
Forget the ones that say you’re weird
and ignore you till your wanted.
Find your passion; conquer your fears;
do what you do best and flaunt it!
Singing loud in the dead of night
but silent as a lamb in day?
No, you need to break out like a kite
and speak out, what you want to say!
Look around you, little missy,
you are a person – just like them;
clever, smart and sometimes witty
but you are – just another them.
Shakespeare says the world is a stage
and each of you have your role and place.
You start your lives with a blank page
each of your moments fill that space.
Live individuality –
it’s like travelling the unknown!
You’re a part of humanity
Oh, if you could see how you’ve grown!
You live on the other side now
still thinking the thoughts you’re thinking…
how you got here? you don’t know how
its just part of the travelling.
Be who you want to be, stay true
as one day, she will be you.
