They thought it was all a friendly gathering
They forgot they are there to play the game
A lot of them tried to play it safe
But with time, the truth came up
They wanted to look good to everyone
While being untrue to themselves
One single event brought out their real selves
Everyone had been faking it all along
Trying to fit into the script they felt the audience would buy into
With every pretence, everyone sees the truth behind the veil
You can bury a lot beneath the surface
But when you keep watering it, it will surface
Everyone knows better and we can see who they are
A lot of insecurities buried underneath the bold face
A lot of people get overwhelmed
Trying to play catch up while losing a sense of worth
When you dance to please the crowd
They will always dictate the tune and rhythm
Why allow others to dictate your steps
When you can actually make a bold statement
You show everyone who you are really all about
Life is a race but a lot of people compete with themselves
You have your path clearly written ahead of you
Embedded in your uniqueness and personality
Why try so hard to fit in when you are meant to stand out?

Thank you for your time.
