U Becoming You

In a time where fitting in is such a crucial part of existence
Self compromise hits an all time high and self-respect, self-awareness has died
Why? Where has integrity gone? Where has acceptance gone?
Is individuality not beautiful? (Just another pretty face in the heaving sea of
bodies)
Not you. Not even human. Just another mindless drone walking the path of
submission
Your eyes glazed over and your mind numbed by years of sedation / submission
I know that somewhere down there beneath that facade lies a neglected human
being
Just begging to see the light of day. Just begging to know the love of self
Bring that beautiful complexity to the world. Give it a new lease on life
Burn the guidelines. Burn the pin-ups. Be yourself. Not what they want you to be
Ignore their expectations. Ignore the lies they tell you. Ignore your
self-rejection
Ignore them. Be yourself. Not what they want you to be. Be who you are
Know who you are. Just be yourself
