I Understand...

Be true. Be YOU.
Everyday and every way.
People may critique my flaws, and imperfections. 
But for those who truly love me,
They say, "never change."

So who cares what some say.
Yes. Words may hurt. 
But in the long run, 
what matters most, 
is what I feel and say. 

Don't you know? 
This poem is really about me? 
That's why I understand, 
When YOU say, 
please except me for me. 

Then I'll say, 
This poem IS for YOU.
Because it's true. 
YOU are not alone.
I love YOU, and accept YOU, for YOU!
