No Pretense Poem by Ray Hansell

I know it might sound crazy
But, thank you for being you
I wanted you to know
That I mean this true

Too many people try to be
Someone that the're not
It's like they don't like
The way they are or what they've got

That's why I have to say
I love you for being you
All the things you say
All the things you do

You don't pretend to be
Anyone else but you
Remember, to yourself
Is the person you must be true to
