This Is My Ten-Step Course Not To Be Like Everyone Else

I am me, and that's all I ever wanted to be.
I don't need to follow your rules,
simply because I don't need to be your clone.
I'm proud to say not once did I wish I was you,
I sat here thinking what makes me, me.

I notice what separates us, and what brings us together.
I don't let your pressure bring me down.
I keep my thoughts to myself, letting my mind race.
I don't dress like you, it's your style.
I will never let your words get to me.

Leave it be, you don't need someone to copy you
just for you to see how appreciated you are.
You don't need to follow everyone else's lead either,
let yourself go and find out who you are for yourself.

Being someone else will get you no where,
so please take a step back and think.
Don't let yourself get in over your head,
you'll never know what troubles you'll find.
