I do believe in myself,
But you just don't,
I do believe your trying to hard,
Be yourself-
Believe you,
Because I believe in me,
Believe that plastic breaks,
I do believe in being free,
Be yourself-
Believe in you-
Because I am starting to believe in me,

I do believe in myself,
Believe in just you.

The author's comments:
This is about someone pretending to be something their not because they are afraid to be what they are. Believing in something can really make a difference, so I wrote this poem for the ones that don't.
