The Gift of Self Acceptance

The Gift of Self Acceptance

Accepting myself is no longer that bad
It used to be I felt so sad
During painful years
When I was in tears
For feeling like a freak
Especially when I did speak
I now know it is okay
That what I think and say
Is like day and night
From the other people's insight.
How I look at things is unique
And a bit oblique
At times too irreverent
Not straight but bent
Round when it is a square
That make others stop and stare
Some laugh so hard they get belly ache
While others sigh and their head shake.
I am created this way
And how it is to stay
So I might as well be comfy
With good old weird me.
As long as I cause no trouble
Am nice and humble
When I speak
And stand out like a freak.
