This is me...

This is me, this is who I am…
I am not always right and I am not always together,
Sometimes I cry like everyone else,
I bleed if you cut me,
My heart hurts if you break it,
I am no better or no worse than anyone else,
I am just as human, just as full of fault,
Sometimes I smile even if I want to cry,
I ask for help from God when I feel broken,
I thank God for each day and each breath regularly,
I need hugs and friends and genuine kindness sometimes,
Those who are always together make me feel inadequate,
I think God and love are more important than anything else,
True friends take you just the way you are, faults and all,
Sometimes I make bad choices on purpose and sometimes by accident,
Sometimes I love me and sometimes I hate me,
I work hard, I play hard, I love life and spreading sunshine,
If you notice it, learning never stops,
I feel great sadness for the struggles of others and wish I could help them,
When all is said and done, we are all here to touch others positively and contribute,
There will always be at least one person in your life who will see your pain
even when you try to hide it, they will feel it because they care about you,
sometimes they will even defend you when you are wrong, but they don't mean harm,
No matter how old you are or how mature you are, you need love, everyone does,
Sometimes I shut people out because I don't want them to see inside me, I want to feel bad and unloved, that is self-hate, everyone has it sometimes, that is not from God,
Those people who choose to look can see who you are even when you try to hide,
even when you isolate yourself and pretend not to care,
Recognize when someone is genuine, there are hearts that care, it doesn't make you weak to accept love, it makes you weak to reject it from fear,
We choose what we will accept from ourselves and others,
Live, love, laugh…often
Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    nice one! :)

    I especially like these lines:
    I need hugs and friends and genuine kindness sometimes,
    Those who are always together make me feel inadequate,


    I recognized myself from the poem, not just once. :D
    really good! :)
