Don't be afraid to ask why
Don't be afriad to shout
Don't be afriad to die

Be who you wanna be
Don't try and copy everything you see
What's the point of copying
When you have your own life to be living

Don't shrink back into the crowd
Be something different strong and loud
Try not to listen to what people say
It only matters how you feel at the end of each day

You don't have to stick to the same old thing
You can change almost anything
Don't fear the constant changing
Fear the thought of your true self fading

Losing you individuality
Is close to belong dead
Once you give into conformity
Your life is just an old book you've read [comments] => 3 [counter] => 289 [topic] => 43 [informant] => pyrochick [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Very Nicely said....

As I tell my children "Never pretend to be some
one your not, Because soon you'll forget who you
are..."

Thank You for your wise words....

We are all so different from each other yet struggle so hard to conform. As I think I've said in other comments, it's the differences that make life interesting

The last line of the 4th stanza is a good one and very powerful.

Good job

:D

Great message. Hats off to you.
I'll pass on a great quote to you.
I don't know who said it but here
it is.

"They laugh at me because I'm
different. I laugh at them because
their all the same. "
Take care , Truly , Doug
