I like what I like
I love from within
I am unique in my taste
I fit in my skin

I am far from perfect
And I’ve made bad choices
I’ve hurt people I love
And I still hear their voices

I’ve got more days behind
Than future days
But at least I’ve learned
That being flawed is okay

For most of my life
Fear has been my guide
Fear of rejection and shame
And a false sense of pride

I’ve never been accused
Of being great or gifted
When I tried to focus on myself
My attention always drifted

When you are told
From the time you can first understand
That you are without worth or value
Your worth hangs by a strand

The book of my life
Has lots of blank pages
The early chapters are complete
But life comes in stages

I still have a lot to learn
And a lot of love to give
And I’m excited to pursue
The life God wants me to live

I don’t know that I’m deep
I don’t know what you see
The important thing
Is that I’m okay with me

To those that see my heart
And the love that lives within
Thank you for accepting
The guy that lives in my skin
