I don't love who I am today,
With all my flaws and my mistakes,
And sometimes it feels like I've lost my way,
And my heart is heavy with all it takes.
But despite it all, I accept myself,
With all my imperfections and scars,
For in accepting who I am right now,
I free myself from the chains and the bars.
I may not love the way I look,
Or the way I think or act or speak,
But in accepting myself as I am,
I open up to the love that I seek.
For love cannot exist without acceptance,
And in accepting myself, I create space,
For the love that I long for with all my essence,
And a sense of peace that I can embrace.
So I may not love who I am today,
But I accept myself regardless,
And in that acceptance, I pave the way,
For a future that's filled with love and kindness.
