Be Me?

I wrote this one day in study hall, I didn't have any homework to do and I had a lot on my mind, so I figured I'd share it because I kind of like it. The explains a lot of my thoughts perfectly.

Be Me?
         Everyday of your life you are told to be yourself. You are told that nothing else matter as long as you are being yourself. But how can you be yourself if you have no idea who you are. You have no idea what your identity is, and how are you able to discover yourself if you don't know who you are? How do you find your place in this world? How can you be yourself when every move you make is being watched and judged by others? How can you be yourself when your not allowed to be you? We are always told to sit up, dress in nice cloths, keep quiet, be mature, act your age, but yet we are told to be ourselves? How can we be ourselves when we are constantly told what we should and shouldn't do? We are told this is how you should look, it is how you should do your hair, you should eat this and wear that. How do you be yourself when your identity is lost, even to you? How can you be yourself when you cant even do the things you want? Or act as you please? or dress the way you want to? How can you be yourself when you can't even make decisions for yourself?
         There comes a time when you just have to stand up and defend yourself. When you stand up as say No! this is what I want, this is my belief, this is me. There comes a time when enough is enough and you break that wall and finally stop listening to others and the bullshit and finally know who you really are. Not who you friends tell you to be, not who your family tells you to be, not who society tells you to be, but you are finally who you are, you are yourself. You finally can tell yourself this is me.
