Copycat

Something new makes me feel good, an expression and unique
But then I see you dressed alike, blatantly flaunting the same week
My hair, my clothes, the places I shop, all make me who I am
But then I find a clone nearby, my very own personal fan
I follow the trends, attempt new styles, pursuing the new fashion
But you can’t look very far, for it’s me you follow with a passion
You imitate my every move, mimic every look
Striving to impersonate, trying to read me like a book
My grace and flair that’s mine alone you aim to duplicate,
Struggling to compete against me, trying your best to replicate
They say it’s a form of flattery, but to me I don’t see that
All I see with my eyes is that you’re a mindless copycat

I tell my kids, you are unique, just like everybody else

people just need to find their own groove, if this person is copying you, think of it this way, they look up to you and maybe have no style direction of their own.
