Masterpiece

I apologize to no one
For me being me
I stand strong in my convictions
I wear them with pride

Far to long in my life
I tried to fit in
The pieces of humanity's jigsaw
Were obscure and jagged

They bent and they broke me
They meshed not well at all
In the end of the puzzle
It looked like a big messy blur

I was born to be original
One of a kind
To become a copycat
Would be mockery of God

Not everyone will like me
That is quite alright
Like fine wine it takes ages
Before it tastes right

I'm still a work in progress
A masterpiece yet to be designed
One day i'll find my place in the world
There i'll hang on the wall, shining in all my glory
