Dare

When you look out there what do you see?
Sometimes I wonder if you can see the best of me?

Torn.
Ripped.
Undone.
Outdone.

It's who I am,
I don't pretend,
Why can't you comprehend,
This is who I am.

Whatever you do,
Take me as I am,
Not as who you want me to be.

Don't try to change me.
Don't try to belittle me.
Don't you dare patronize me!

Just let me be me,
It's all I have,
It's all I want,
To dare to be me.
