you don't have to.

you don't have to pretend to be someone,
because people who love you like the way you are.
you don't have to be afraid to show your weaknesses,
because everybody has them.
you don't have to hide your feelings,
because they're all written on your face.
you don't have to try so hard to be prettier,
because you already are.
you don't have to follow other people,
because every person is unique.
you don't have to behave in a way to get people to like you,
because you have people who always like you.
you don't have to do the things which you're uncomfortable with,
because you will do it half-heartedly.
you don't have to show what you have outside,
because people want to see yourself from inside.

don't lie to yourself,
why?
because you just don't have to.
