Excepting Myself
i always wondered would he love me more
if i had longer hair and lighter skin
or if i dressed like the others girls just to fit in
if i exposed all i got just because most
of my friends were doing it
if i laughed differently and smiled less
honestly i wanted him to like me more never less
or if i stuck my chest out when i walked
or if i talked proper when i talked
for some reason i was willing to impress him
and not except that i was something to value
that i was fine just the way i was
that i didn't need to be something that i wasn't
the only thing i needed to be was me
in the end i found out he loved me for me
that i didn't need to front for nobody.
