Love Poem: Be Who You Are

Be Who You Are

I don’t need them to like me
Or be someone else to make them happy
I have my real friends
And I won’t be sitting around wondering when our friendship ends
They are only a few that I can trust and appreciate
What we have is what other wished they can relate
People don’t know how to satisfy themselves and turn to satisfying others
If you think it’s nice to live a life where everyone backstabs one another
Then you must not care where you'll end up in their lies
Fail to keep them satisfied, your reputation dies
They won’t stick around when you’re in trouble
They’re cowards that can’t face their own struggles
You don’t have to live another life for someone to talk to you
Or like everything that others like just to get you through
They will tell you the things you would love to hear when you’re around
But talk behind your back and say the things that will bury you to the ground
Be yourself and find yourself a real friendship that will last
It’s always important to have someone on your side to trust
Live your life with no lies and you will go far
Because there is always someone out there who will love you for who you are
