not yours...

When people are lost
and they don’t know

Losing sight of things
that come and go…

Sometimes
all they want is to take
Carefully molding
a spirit that’s so fake…

Grabbing someone else’s personal piece
Like something that’s for rent or for lease
Never having an original thought
Copying without fear of being caught

Ah, pathetic really, this all seems...
Sadly, one of the most common, devious schemes
glorifying oneself with false brilliance
they are really those that have no resilience…

whatever you say represents you…
whatever you do says a lot about you…
so, be who you really are
and not some wannabe star…

or be a star, sure, coz you’re not dull
but please oh please, just be original…
You’re here to make a difference
Not to always check on a reference…

don’t be just a copy of someone you know
be yourself and don’t just go with the flow…
trying to make people think you’re cool…
Ah, that is the major plan of a fool

would you rather realize, you’re nothing but
an empty shell who didn’t make the cut?
Or be the way you’re meant to be…
The you, that we’re really meant to see…

When you keep getting credit
for someone else’s scores…
can you ever be really proud
of something that’s not yours?
