They can't make you who you are not...

A kid came up to me now just the other day
And asked me if I thought about what I would say
If everything came crashing down on top of me
How would I stay pure?

Will you represent who you stand for?
Will they shame you?
Will they blame you?

It's funny how the words of a child can be
Simple, but the thought there is so meaningful
Makes me wonder what I would say to me
In the eyes of another

Will you represent who you stand for?
Will they shame you?
Will they blame you?

There's a consequence for the path you chose
Will they change you?
Will they make you who you are not? [x3]

Let the free will light your way
In these times of darkened days
Let the free will light your way

You will represent who you stand for
They won't shame you
They won't change you

There's a consequence for the path you chose
They can't change you
They can't make you who you are not

Represent, by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

It is a brilliant song, I love it.
And it has stuck in my head the last few days, kept me halfway strong, helped me.
Some things are really bad at the moment for me, but I'm surviving like I do.
Other things I think are going good, possibly turning to great, but I don't know.
I guess only time will tell.
For both. Whether the bad will become good again, or the good will stay good or turn great or go bad.
But all any of us can do is represent who we are, and who we stand for, to the best of our abilities, to our purest, truest form.
No matter how bad that form may be.
Not matter the consequences.
Because if good things come from being who you are not, how can they truely even be good? If you have to pretend, it isn't real, not really.
So no pretending, just representing.
