Learning to accept myself
Even the scars tell a story
Of my history
They Make my present worth it
Help building my future

The flaws
That make me flawless
Nothing less than what I am
Perfect in every aspect
I’ve learned to accept
The melodies of my cry
The expressions when I cry, smile, frown and sometimes when I get scared
I remember I’m scarred
Like the colour red
I’ve shed blood
Pain and anger
Yet today I am grateful for all the steps I’ve taken
Both big and small
Blessings from above
Both good and bad
ALL played a part and today I accept it all

Rejections that made me feel worthless
Today are worth less
Nothing to be exact
Used to pain like injections
Today give me butterflies
Like I’m inlove
As they are the wings I use to fly
A reminder that I am great
And that I can stand the heat
Accept every challenge
Win every battle
Never feel belittled
Take up space
And have all the grace
To run every race

I am because of all the pain, rejections and scars
I am acceptance
