Scream so loud that no-one can hear you <br />Listen so close that you cant hear a sound <br />Cut so deep that no-one can feel you <br />Give up on flying as you hit the ground <br /> <br />Dance as if nobody were watching <br />Wish on a star that wouldn't come true <br />Learn to laugh just as you start crying <br />Love someone like they'll never love you <br /> <br />Search so long that there's nothing to look for <br />Reach for a hand when there's nothing to hold <br />Read a book that has never been written <br />Believe in a story that hasn't been told <br /> <br />Let out a laugh and act like you're happy <br />Hell, even smile, but only for show <br />Don't let them see that you're falling to pieces <br />But when you're alone you can let it all go <br /> <br />Dont let them kick you just as you are down <br />Pick yourself up when you're hitting the ground <br />Dont let them break you, show 'em you're strong <br />Even though you felt weak all along <br /> <br />You're better than they are, dont give up just yet <br />Make them feel what you'll never forget <br />Just cause they're rich or they're part of the crowd <br />it does not mean that they can push you down <br /> <br />Stand up for yourself it's all you can do <br />Hey, being different is what makes you 'you' <br />You know who you are, you have nothing to prove <br />Be good to yourself and stay true to YOU<br /><br />Crystal Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stay-true-to-you/
