Don't Ever Change

Published on 18 September 2016 at 07:25

You might be slightly different,

or somewhat out of the norm,

or perhaps a tad bit unordinary—

but you know, that is quite alright,

because that is what makes you

rather extraordinary.

 

The flaws that you may have,

they don’t make much of a difference.

And all of your strange habits

may, in fact, be all of your best.

Because you are unlike all the rest,

and what you have, others tend to lack.

 

Don’t ever think otherwise.

You are unique in your own way,

and that, I’d say, has made you

into who you are today,

and who you’ll be tomorrow.

And that is somebody I would follow.

 

So, don’t ever change who you are—

that is, unless it’s for the best.

Although, you are already there,

because you’re different from the rest.

And those who’d force you to change,

I’d say, don’t know what’s best.

 

That is for you, and only you, to decide.

And by saying this, I might sound lame,

but you only get to live one life,

so I’d like to say—always be yourself,

and don’t change for anyone else.
