we create our own reality

we create our own reality,
and in my reality,
I am
the owner of my dreams,
therefore,
I take responsibility
for my flaws,
as well as my strengths,
my failures,
as well as my successes.
I own my fears,
as well as my hopes.
In my reality,
there is no illusions,
no fantasies.
I make no apologies
for who  I am.
So take me as I am,
the good and the bad,
or leave me alone.
Look at every side
of this spectrum before
making a decision
about wanting to be with me.
Why?
Because what you see
is my reality.
I will never change.
So are you sure
I am really what you want?
We create our own reality.
