note to self

little world

note to self 

you dont have to be an open book 
spilling energy and time 
you dont have to dance and smile and please or color inside the lines 
you dont need likes and views and streams 
from people you dont know 
you dont need others confirmation 
to know how much you grow 
perfection comes at a high price 
and idleness will make you pay 
but hope is not quite the same 
as wishing it would go away 
many years i keep running around 
seeking what i already know is true 
that you dont have to be like anyone else 
you just have to be like you
