The art of being real

People today try to be someone and something they ain’t
They try to fit into a world, that is never straight forward
They contort and construct themselves a wall of who they are around them
Many of them, never know what being real means
No one has ever taught anyone the art of being real
Being real is being true to who you are
It’s being more authentic than being someone else
It’s being original and having originality
Why would I want to be someone else when I can just be me
Being someone else take a lot of work
It take a lot of time, that I don’t have in this world
It’s very exhausting to be someone else
It’s why people who try to be someone else
Don’t last very long in this world
Because all the work it take to being someone else is a huge soul crusher
It’s why being real is being who you are
It doesn’t take hard work to be real
It doesn’t take walls to be who you are
And you don’t even have to spend a lot to be someone else
Just being yourself speaks more volumes than the walls you put up in front of you.
Being who you are matters more than being someone else
Being real means being true to yourself and everyone around you
It’s being who you are and being the real you
You don’t need to be someone else to fit in
You just need to be yourself and over time, people will gravitate towards you
It’s why I wonder why people today want to be someone else or something they ain’t
When in reality you can be you and never have to work hard to be someone else
It’s why the real you last longer than the walls you put up
The real you outlast those who try to fake it in this world
So be the real you because the real you is a lot better than being someone else
It shows how authentic and original you really are
