Be Real Be You

They say love yourself, its very good for your health

But it’s not always that simple and plain, when you carry a world full of pain

You know it’s hard to be you

In a world that teaches us not to

It can be hard to be you

After what some have put you through

They say love yourself

It’s very good for your health

They say just be you

It’s what you were born to do

But it’s not always that simple and plain

When you carry a world full of pain

And doesn’t always come easy and true

When you’ve never been taught how to

I remember being told ‘Just Be You’

Inside I screamed ‘I don’t know how to’

You see after so many years of feeling shame

It wasn’t that easy to just release the pain

But one thing I realised I could do

Was find some help, that could help me to

Reach deep into my heart and soul

And help me climb back out from my hole
