PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In an attempt to be accepted,

I tried to be someone I was not,

losing my identity in the process.



I became identical to the others~

a carbon copy of perfection with

a false facade of contentment.



With lies caked on too heavily,

I revealed my true self to them,

being rejected, becoming dejected.



I reached out to the One who

knew me best and loved me most;

He saw me for who I truly was.



And He took me as I was, flawed,

held me in His all-encompassing arms,

and showered me with appreciation.
