Look at me
and see me.
See me for what I am,
For who I am.
Not who you think I am,
not who you hoped I would become
or who you want me to be,
not even for who you've been told I am,
but for who I truly am.
Even though it might break your heart,
disappoint you
or crush your soul,
accept that I grew up to become my own person
with my own beliefs and values.
Look at me
and see me,
the real me
not a younger you.
That is the greatest gift you could ever give me.
