You don't have to pretend
To be someone you're not
Be true to who you are
Make use of what you've got.
Though battle-scarred and bruised
No need to hide your flaws
Telltale signs of courage
Through hardship, failure, loss.
No need to mask your tears
Behind feigned smiles made up
Intense feelings captured
In every single drop.
You're perfect as you are
So gracious and tough
You deserve to succeed
You are more than enough.
