Staying you


Why would you yearn to be famous and when you finally get there, you try your best to hide your identity
You beg to be seen all round the world, but when it all come to you, you run from the flashing lights and the screaming fans
In the airports and public places, you'll wear sunshades and hats to conceal yourself from the world
But didn't you beg to be famous?
Why would you beg to be rich and have all you ever wanted, but when you finally get it, you view it all as meaningless for it would have lost it's value
You craved to drive the biggest and the most expensive cars but you now regret that everybody stares at you wherever you go
In your home, at work and at places of rest, no matter where you are, you find that your wealth can't buy you the happiness you desire and you become full of regret
But didn't you beg to be rich?
Why would you yearn for so much power and authority, but when you finally attain that position, your run away at the negative side that it brings
When you have to makes decisions that might cost you a bunch...you curse and blame your maker for allowing you be in that position
In times when your power demands you going against the wrong doings of your loved ones, you hurt inside and find yourself in between the devil and the deep blue sea
But did't you want to be powerful, and full of authority?
You tried your possible best to be the most beautiful girl that the world would ever see
You put all the make-up that you can possibly lay your hands on, and plastic surgeries are a daily routine
All in a bid to attain perfection and at the end of the day, you are a cancer patient and all say to yourself is "Only if I knew"
But didn't you want to be beautiful?
No matter what position you find yourself, no matter what state you are in, no matter what financial or social status you find yourself in
Be who you are and be proud of it... You are Unique.
