I used to be authentic

At some point I had to be

This won't just be a summer

This is forever

Forever that I have no hope of achieving her heart

Forever that my life will change

My first heartbreak is out of the way now at least

But it only taught me one thing

Be true to yourself

No matter how much you change and mold 

yourself to fit their standard 

of perfection,

They still might not like you

You still might fail

So be true from the start

Better to not even change to begin with

Be authentic
