The days I've wasted comparing myself
Could've gone to building my own skill wealth
To my own talent, blind, only focused on them
Thought no value in me, but believing them gems.
Rack my brains, put on masks, try to emulate all.
Climbed their ladders, not mine, and everytime, fall.
"Why can't I be like these people so great?"
Listen, you are, but their gifts aren't your fate.
You've been looking around, never looking inside.
You've got talent galore, but it's something you hide.
Learn from them but don't try to become what they are.
They aren't you, YOU are you. You're the best You by far.
We've got plenty of Thems, we don't need any more.
What we need is a YOU. Never had one before.
They were each gifted talents unique in their own.
We can't all do the special things others have shown.
But neither can they do the things you can do.
That's why they're YOUR talents. It's what makes you YOU.
