No one can make you feel inferior without your consent- Eleanor Roosevelt


I don't have to be afraid 

I'm not a slave to my emotions 

it may feel like I'm drowning

but I'm not scared of the ocean

seas of people surrounding me

i used to be so scared of what they would think of me

now I don't care

cuz I'm free

free to be me

no more hand me downs

i'm my own person now 

and it feels so great 

to express myself 

and now I know that I'm free to be me 

I can relate to the shadow kids

scared of the light always ready to fly

i know how it feels to be constantly running

but they don't have to do that anymore 

cuz who says we can't be ourselves 

and who says we have to be someone else

who says we have to hide in the dark and mask who we are

yes who says 

we're all special on some way

don't forget that today won't last forever 

so make it count 

and live your life 

cuz who says you can't be yourself 

and who says you have to someone else

learn to love who you are 

stop hiding in the dark

be yourself and no one else

cuz who says you have to act like the others

Just be yourself be yourself

yeah who says
