Be You Do You

Just be you and do you

Whether the sky is grey or blue

Not thinking about anything else

Even if the hard ice melts

Enjoying life and doing your thing

Counting the happiness, it brings

Living it up to the maximum

To gain that full-on satisfaction

Making every moment treasurable

With experiences that are pleasurable

Working, partying, kissing or rolling

Setting yourself free without any controlling

Focus on yourself and minimise the drama

Similar to the one and only Barack Obama

Not letting anyone get to you or put you down

If you are reading this, you have got a special crown!
