I rather be myself than being a muppet.

They are jumping without knowing if there's any solid ground, they are not afraid of making mistakes. They are living. That's why I like them. 

You? You are so afraid of making mistakes that you don't even put a foot on the street. You are not living. 

You are a muppet.
A muppet of your family.
A muppet of someone else's ideals.
A muppet of the "what if they say mean things about me?".

And I'm calling you that way because you are not living life, you are not speaking your mind. Do you have one? A mind? A soul? Or those are things empty people took away from you? Molded for you?

I'm calling you like that because if you see something out of what you think is normal, you judge, and because you don't give any opportunity to people who's different and people who can teach you different things.

You judge, you punish, you are an ally, and you are in the corner of the room, resentful of those who live a happy life, without caring what you think and say about them.

You are a muppet because you are afraid and that doesn't let you live the real life. You are so scared of making mistakes, of people judging you, of regretting something, that you are not realizing that time is passing by and you are missing countless opportunities.  

If you want to put me aside for making mistakes, for not caring what people is saying about me, for jumping without knowing if I'll land in solid ground. Do it. 

Life is so short and fast, opportunities don't always come. Choices can be hard, but you shouldn't let small things like fear stop you. We are bigger than that. Nothing sadder or lonelier than the "What if..." feeling. So, if you want to jump, jump. Maybe you fall and maybe you'll get hurt, but what if you fly?

I rather be a myself, even with the things I'm not proud of, than being a muppet and who follows someone else's ideals, someone else's boring and sad way of living life.

I rather be myself, whatever that means, than being a muppet.
