THE REAL ME

   I am me,
   And you are you.
   I'm not you and you can't be me.
   No, never you can't be me.
   Many don't feel so good about themselves,
   Many believe to have no speciality in them.
   Looking at yourself as someone with no       
   speciality, special gifts and talents destroys
   your self- image.

   I'm Miss Blackie and you are light in                   complexion.
   You are tall and I'm short.
   You are fat and I'm slim.
   What's the difference?
   Remember the same blood runs through our     veins.
   The fact that A sings beautifully shouldn't           make you feel   inferior.
   Or the fact that B is much more talented than
   you shouldn't be a cause for jealousy.
   Your physical appearance doesn't determine     your abilities &   potentials.

   The fact is this,

   I can't be you and you can't be me.

   I'm me and I can't afford to be anybody else.     I'm not gonna waste my time being someone     else.
   I prefer to use my time to be me.
   I can't afford to be wasted.
   I have a self image to protect,
   I can't afford to live under the mentality of         an inferiority complex.
   I'm me and I enjoy being me.

   Be the real you, don't be someone else                 because you are unique.
   Enough of faked life.
   I'm special and so are you.
   If you still hope to be someone else,
   I'm sorry tell you this,
   They have been taken already.
   My Dear Just Be Yourself.
   I bet it, you can't be me and I can't be you.
