Be yourself
Or let people
Change you

Some people allow themselves
To be changed
They think that they want to be liked
They feel they need too
To fit in

Some people
Remain themselves
So that
They are true to themselves

BE YOUR-SELF,

'coz fankly where' the point in being like every one else, because you'll only look like a sheep and the end of the day!
and then what about when you spend loads of money on thins that you proberl dn't even lke your'self, just 'coz your mates tell you to.
WHERE'S THE POINT???

Exactly! Most people are so stuck on wanting to fit in they loose who they really are and become spitting images of everyone else! So Stupid! Then there's the "real" people the ones who have and will always be themselves...they may change a little bit, but thats just them growing in their minds....
I'm one of those people...I don't change for anyone...! I don't want to be like everyone else! :) lol Great poem by the way

please comment on my work too
