One Heart Different Smiles

As a kid, we are told
To be ourselves, bright and bold
But as we get older
Things start to change
We get told, to act a certain way
All people are different
Yet we all have one heart
If we were the same
They couldnt tell us apart
Be yourself and wear it with a smile
Hopefully you will stick around for a while
Everybody is beautiful both inside and out
So be yourself without any doubt
And never let them kick you out
