What people tell me:
Don't laugh too loud
Keep your head down
Don't stand up
Don't speak out
Don't be the person you want to be
Be the person others want to see
Be selfless, and never selfish
Don't flaunt what you have
Don't make other mad
Keep quiet and polite
Never make waves or even ripples
Don't take, just give
Never defend, just agree
Don't be yourself
What I tell myself:
Stand up, don't let them talk you down
Exclaim that you're you and you're proud
Make others laugh and joke that yours is the best
Tell the world who you are
Don't let others get hit by the peer-pressure car
Make a ripple, heck make a wave
Stand up and fight for yourself
Be the you that you want to be
And if anyone tells you different remind them who they are and who you are is not the same
And will never be.
