"True Colors"

  Author's Note:  When I first heard this song I really liked it. The message it send out is true. I wrote about this because I think everyone should be happy with themselves. 

"You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged

Oh I realize

Its hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

And the darkness inside you

Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful,

Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,

Don't be unhappy, can't remember

When I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful,

Like a rainbow

(When I last saw you laughing)

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors"

 When I first heard this song on my favorite show "Glee" song by Cindy Lauper, I was kind of amazed. I felt like they were sending the message that for who you truly are is incredible. Everybody is different and that's okay because different is good. A lot of people (I admit to being a victim of) hold back. They're sometimes afraid to show people who they really are. Not everybody is accepting as other people but my opinion is that you shouldn’t hold back because when you hold back from being happy, mad, sad or just yourself your acting. Your putting on an act to be a flawless and perfect person. Well at least that's what I try to do. So moral of the story, don't hold back. Be yourself.
