Why can't we all be happy as we are?
Instead of drifting away, so far,
From who we really are inside.
What if no one tends to lie,
About what we think, or what we're done?
What if no one tried to run?
Indtead we all would rejoice,
In who we are, and speak our voice!

The author's comments:
I've always felt it was ridiculous when people feel like they need to change themselves to please other people. God made you who you are, so be yourself, and be happy with what He gave you. This is about that(:
