I growl
I lack grace
I smell bad
I take up space
"It's just big fur!" I will declare
When everyone knows
It's fat under there

Despite these things
(and others implied)
A beautiful girl
Stands by my side
I growl
She laughs
I get close
And she pets me
Could this be a girl
That actually gets me?

I sit and wonder what she sees in me
It seems she could have any grizzly!
Because of her I can decree
There's still hope
For a bear like me
