Flashes

If your life,

Flashed before my eyes,

Would I see past,

Your disguise?

Your hopes,

And your dreams,

Your truths,

And your lies,

All the things,

That you despise.

All these years,

You’ve held it back,

When you thought,

It was a good thing to lack,

Originality,

Creativity,

Personality,

And ability,

These are the things,

In you,

We want to see.

It’s time to break down,

Those walls you’ve put up,

And let everyone see,

Who you really wanna be,

Break the lock,

And give us the key,

Spread out your roots,

Just like a tree.

Because if you’re hiding,

Who you are,

It’s harder,

To shine like a star,

And see,

Your dreams come true,

The only thing,

You gotta do,

Is be yourself.

Be yourself,

Not anyone else,

Be yourself,

You’ll see that it helps,

Deep inside,

You know who you are,

So let it out,

Shine brighter than a star.

And when you do,

This simple thing,

Your friendship will grow,

And your heart will sing,

You’ll find people,

To whom you’ll relate,

Sadness and tears,

Won’t be your fate,

It’s time for you,

To just open the gate,

Just open the gate,

To your soul.
