The Way I Am

Do you love me the way I am?
Think of what you want of me
I couldn’t even give a damn,
About your attitude as bitter as black tea.
Why don’t you listen to this Rhyme
And swim against the tide.
Be yourself, don’t change for anyone who thinks you are grime
Be proud of you. Shine your face filled with pride
After you look at yourself, maybe you would accept me for the way I am.
