BE REAL Bring it on-And let truth be my existence. Value my life-And tell me like it is. Bark at me when I'm wrong-And hug me when I'm right. Praise me if I succeed-And tell me if I fail. Laugh at me if you think I'm funny-And wink at me if you think I'm cute. Yell at me if I ever hurt you-And scold me if I'm ever bad. Keep things real with me, Because I want to be alive, I want my world to be real-And I want to see your spirit. I want to hear you breathe- And I want to know how you feel. Don’t waste my time with insecurities. Keep my world real.
