In my quest for self discovery
I realised the problem plain to see
Anxiety, timidity and ignorance
Bravado,pride and arrogance
All gain my innocuous disdain.
My desire for acceptance
Left me baffled on the importance
Of self love and self worth.
The vast possibilities that would be
Who I was, who I am, who I could be.
The doubt, confusion and fears
Have led me here.
I may not be perfect
But these attributes identify me.
I dare not change me
For I am different
I love different, and I love me.
