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.
