Be YOU

Synopsis: Life is too short to try to be someone you're not. You only get one shot at this, so why not live life being YOU?
Life's about how you play the cards you are dealt
Make the transition from the false to the true self
Real wealth can be defined as the existence of one's health
Find your happiness within; herein, place fakes on the shelf
Might as well be the real you; being inauthentic is visible
The genuine hear the lying in the accent on the syllables
Embrace your quirks and remember, you get what you fear
Appear clear to your peers and adhere to your sphere
You can't be YOU if your paying attention to the gossip
That type of shit originates from those who are washed up
So, never mind empty chatter; just some of life's oddities
No time for opinions, since they're the cheapest commodities
The world needs YOU because no one like you exists
Your ideas and goals have value; why not persist?
Failure is akin to progress; flip your view when you derail
Some of the biggest failures are those who've never failed
