There’s only that much
You can hide
You can walk away
You can quit

Instead live for who you are
Who you will be
Who you can be and your name

That chatters debating in the back of your head
Let go of it, ignore it
Make your stand
Right here, right now

Someone will accept you
And only you for whom you are
If it won’t be that girl
It will be me
