I wanna be myself

I wanna be myself, I'm tired of being afraid. My problem is I care too much about what people think. Sometimes I have confidence, sometimes I shrink. I wanna go around and preach the gospel. Even if I'm persecuted for doing so. I wanna get close to God, do right and I wanna grow. Most people turn against you when you wanna better yourself. They show their true colors. I wanna be myself, I don't wanna be like others.
