Look Inside

Look Inside yourself,
what is it that you see?
Do you see the real you?
Or a shell of yourself?
Did you come home from school wondering who you were and where you have been?
Desperately seeking what others have.

Why can't you be happy with yourself?
Instead constantly comparing yourself to others,
Why do you base your happiness on how others see you?

Look inside yourself ask yourself, why?
Is it that the most important thing in life is to feel accepted?
Or is it to feel like you belong?
Maybe it's because you're tired of all the bullshit,
Wishing you were someone else instead because then maybe you'd be happy.

I've been down that road.
It's not a pretty road.
And leads to nowhere.
This leads you to a path of life that you don't want to take.
It leads you to do things that you end up regretting.
You begin to push the ones you love away,
Desperately seeking a sense of belonging,
When it was right in front of you all along,

You also feel that no one knows who you are,
All they see is the fake, you!
They have no idea of the pain you feel,
While they sleep soundly, you know how bad it feels.

You just needed an escape from the pain,
yet unable to realize that you had away to escape right in front of you.

It was to listen to your heart and follow your dreams,
All you needed to do was to Look inside yourself for that strength, to look inside yourself
To know that life may be hard but your true friends will stick by your side, to look inside yourself don't be afraid to show who you are, to look inside yourself to understand the true meaning of who you want to be, not what others think or may have to say.

Get rid of the negative thoughts in your head,
Turn yourself into the person you want to become.

Be true to yourself, to your heart, and make sure you listen to yourself and look inside your heart, and in the end it doesn't matter what people think.

The only thing that matters is that smile on your face is real, the pain inside you is gone, and you can finally show your true self to the world.
