most people like you
for being what they want you to be
not for being who you really are
the person they like isn't the real you
it's the one they want you to be
to make them like you
'be not you'
but if you are not you
you won't like you
what matters is that
you be the real you
be what you really want you to be
– not what others want you to be –
being the real you
will make you truly happy
to be you.
