Be YOU

Be YOU

A Poem by Joey Martinez

I am not a puppet, I will not fall into society's trap and be how they want me to be. I was born not built I wasn't made like a robot, I have feelings, I have thoughts, I have free will. I will not fall into these trends just to become popular or to get the girls, I rather be myself and alone. Whats the point of living life pretending to be someone you aren't? That's a waste of life, and life is the greatest gift of them all. Let me tell you something, back then I fell into society's trap, I fell to the trends and I made a ton of friends. But I realized this isn't me, this is not who I am, and I climbed out of this hole and I climbed out alone. Those "friends" did not follow me, because they were not friends, once they saw the real me and not the trended me, they backed out because I was different, and what I liked and loved wasn't the popular trends that were happening. When I became me, I found my true friends, I found happiness, I found myself. Yes during this process you may be alone for a while but I promise you someone will come to you and appreciate you for being you. Do not fall into what you see around you, don't fall into these trends just to make friends, just be you and the right people will come in your life. People fall into these stupid trends, dressing a certain way, listening to certain music, just doing whats popular and following the crowd, and you know what? More than half of those people don't even like the way they dress or the popular music they hear, they're just looking for a way to make friends or to get attention. Sooner or later I hope they realize that they fell into society's trap and find a way to climb the hole and be themselves. Whoever is reading this, Be you, you have free will, you can choose to do whatever you want, don't be brainwashed by what you see or hear. Be you, stay true.
