You're screaming,
You're fussing,
You're pulling at your hair.
No matter where you go, the pressure's in the air.
You feel you're never good enough;
You always want a change.
You're never satisfied with your looks;
You always feel strange.
You have to have the hair,
You have to have the clothes.
You have to have the body, the attitude…
And whatever else goes.
Why can't you just be you?
The one that God created.
You're always wishing you were someone else…
Try being who you are instead.
Feel good about who you are.
Show yourself off!
Put your natural blessings to use…
It's sure to pay off.
The next time you look into the mirror,
Say "Thank you!"
After all, no one else can say that they are you!
Nowadays, so many teens are feeling pressured to be like everyone else. We're all after the latest fashions, keeping up on the latest slang, trends, and gossip, and trying to have the "coolest" look so that we can fit in with the most popular crowds. However, we need to realize that we were all created as individuals, and there are as many different lifestyles to be lived as there are people in this world. So be different -BE UNIQUE! Even if you're an identical twin, there is no person on Earth with exactly the same talent, personality, and attitude as you. Be proud of what you have, because no one can duplicate you! You are special, and that is why God made you to be like you. So don't wish so much that you were someone different, because you will never be them. Always stay yourself, and feel lucky to be YOU!
