Be Yourself

You can't ever look past the way that you yourself felt

Talk to yourself, well, that's the meaning of self-help

And don't beat yourself up in the pursuit of self-happiness

'Cause half the battle's asking passionately just what "happy" is

Take some time off to self-reflect and self-measure

Sometimes you need to be self-centered

To understand yourself better

I'm feeling self-possessed without the selfishness of self-obsession

But if I do this for myself and no one else, then it is self-expression

Self-confident, in that I'll never let myself forfeit

'Cause every word I write,

I'm certain I'm just painting a self-portrait

And to all the self destructive people

Who feel they'll never be themselves again

Just know I understand that self-inflicted pain is self-defense

So don't sell yourself short, or label yourself as stupid

Because when you've hit rock bottom.

Every movement is a self-improvement
