you've never felt like yourself
since the day you were born
as long as you can remember 
you've been broken and worn
just to be somebody else
or to just learn what it means to be yourself
but you seem fine enough
despite how you have felt
so they let you pass
and you try to move on
but it all feels so hard
it all feels so wrong
but let me tell you something
i think you should know
if you're searching for a house
you'll never find your way home
if you dream someone else's dream
you'll never know your own
if you tell yourself to want what everyone else has
you wont realize you really don't 
if you strive to be another person
you wont know you're already perfect
if you let them set your price 
you'll always feel like you are worthless
so take the power
back into your hands
or take back the power
that you can
i know its scary
to not know exactly who you are
and that trying to trust the stranger that is your mind
can be really hard
but just know you can't go wrong
if you follow your heart
happiness will find you one day i promise
it's written in the stars
