Cry, and you cry alone.
Spend money, and you have many friends.
For the shallow man cares not for you.
When you are in need, no one lends.
Wear the brands, and others will envy.
Wear the fake mask, and others flock.
Be yourself, and everyone flees.
Speak your heart, and others squawk.
So, is there room for a unique you?
Will others see your glory?
Do you stay true to who is inside,
Or, for others, do you change your story?
