just be yourself

Have you ever watched a frog eat a fly, or seen a bird pass by in the sky?
Listen closly to the life all around you. It's everywhere, so plunge take a dive.
You don't see the animals worrying about how the act. Neither should you. Now that's a fact!
Don't try to be someone your not. Everone will see right through you. So just follow your heart, and act the way you should. Don't worry. It'll be O.K. Just be who you are, don't let yourself get away!
