I know its difficult,

To be a kid nowadays,

But dare to be yourself,

Grow up an individual,

No baggy pants & loose fitting clothes,

Hats turned sideways or reversed,

Strutting around like some rapper,

Acting quite altogether perverse,

I guess though to some it is better,

Than running away and joining a cult…

Difficulty in each generation,

Leading to stress and frustration,

Maybe you think you are a complete aberration,

But if you can see yourself as just one,

Out of a great and laudable population,

You may find of yourself that you are the one,

Who is to the rest quite applaud able,

From your generation you will one day receive congratulation…

So hey be yourself,

No one will at this time you fault,

You may find yourself being the one they exalt,

Your future will be nothing if not better, by default…
