Accept Me

I open my mouth
With something to say
It means so much
Yet you look away

I’m just a lost girl
Fighting tooth and nail
I’m anything but perfect
Trying not to fail

Look in my eyes
Watch me cry
Tell me I’m wrong
Try not to lie

What do you want
Perfection you seek
But that’s not me
Listen when I speak

When I watch
Through your perspective
The me I see
Well it’s defective

I can’t be fake
I must be real
And who you see
Might break the deal

I want to be loved
For who I am
I’m so tired
Of running this scam

So I’m stripping down
I am now exposed
I entirely understand
If you oppose

I pray someone loves me
Even when totally bare
Because there is no other
I’m completely rare
