As I am

Listen

By Gregory AndersonPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

You gave me life

Though it is mine to claim

You gave me strength

In the midst of pain

Now the time has come I’m grown

I must face situations on my own

Now I share with you who I am

That you might accept me as I am

You say I’m wrong this is not right

This is my life which I’m prepared to fight

Maybe you want to protect me out of a sense of fear

The choice is mine let’s make that clear

We each must find the reason we are here

If I reach out my hand help me stand

Open your heart to accept me as I am

Like the wind it comes and goes

The promise of tomorrow no one knows

You gave me love you helped me stand

Now just accept me as I am
